Chicken Wraps

The best thing I love about this new apartment is the abundance of sunlight I get inside... Previous apartment I stayed never had any direct sunlight facing windows... Most of the time the house felt so dim and moody...which in turn makes me feel so lethargic.
 The new apartment is making up for all that... Moreover this kind of apartment therapy is giving me a new Zing !! Most days are surprisingly productive...:)
See now I am able to take photographs like this... Totally utilizing the sunlight coming through the window blinds.
Coming to the Chicken rolls...something I make when I feel completely lazy to make dinner, instead want to make something interesting that includes some fresh vegetables and lots and lots of lemon...:P Oh! you know my fondness for lemon...
Steps are very simple... Cut chicken into thin strips (this will marinate faster and will cook with less oil). Marinate with the choice of seasoning and leave it aside. Make chapatis meanwhile.
Stir fry the chicken pieces with little oil until all the pieces are cooked through and evenly browned. Take each chapati, spread some yogurt, place few chicken pieces at the center. Add choice of fresh cut veggies... I usually add thinly sliced cabbage, cucumber. This time I had some freshly home made bean sprouts which made a good addition to this wrap.
Once everything is placed generously squeeze some lemon juice across it. Now wrap it up and there it goes into the mouth...:p
Recipe:
----------
I am not writing the proportions here because this is something that can be explored with a variety of ingredients. I will list out the ingredients used here.

To marinate : 
----------------
Turmeric Powder (very little)
Chili Powder
Tandoori Masala
Pepper
Salt
Yoghurt
Lemon Juice
Boneless Chicken - Sliced thinly.

Marinate thinly sliced chicken pieces with the above ingredients and set it aside.

Make enough chapatis meanwhile.

Filling : Thinly slice everything
--------
Cabbage
Cucumber
Onions
Bean Sprouts
Yoghurt
Lemon Juice

Heat a wide non stick pan, add few drops of oil. When it is hot add all the chicken pieces and stir fry it till it is completely cooked and evenly browned.


Take one chappati, daub it with yoghurt.
Place some fried chicken pieces, and freshly sliced vegetables.
Squeeze lemon juice across the filling.
Roll the chappati to make the filling in place and set aside.
Continue with the rest of the chapattis.



Now go ahead and make this Crunchy Wraps
