Pita bread with curry puff filling

I love curry puffs especially the filling but sometimes I am too lazy to make the pastry so here I am using pita bread instead. This dish is great for a quick lunch or snack. You can freeze any leftover filling to use another day.

Ingredients
200 grams chicken breast meat
1 medium size onion
4 potatoes
2 tbsp curry powder
1 tsp chilli powder




Mince the chicken breasts coarsely







Finely dice the onions and potatoes  






Heat 2 tbsp oil in the wok over medium heat.
Sauté the onions for about 2 minutes or until soft and golden





Add the minced chicken and stir until the colour changes






Add 2 tbsp meat curry powder and mix thoroughly
Alternately, you can fry the curry paste first and then add the chicken
Add 100 ml water to prevent it burning





Add the potatoes and mix thoroughly
Add salt according to your taste






Cover and cook till the potatoes have softened and the curry is almost dry






Turn off the fire and let it cool down








1 packet pita bread






Heat up the fry pan
Put in the pita bread and brown it





Cut the pita bread into 2 pieces






Open up the pita bread and fill with the stuffing







Add some finely sliced lettuce if desired
Serve immediately
