Ingredients:

• 1 – small onion, chopped
• 1 cup – frozen peas
• 10 – flour tortillas
• 4-5 tbsp – flour mixed with water to a paste (sealant)
• 1 cup – cooked boneless meat/chicken, chopped
• 2 tbsp – chaat powder
• 4 tbsp – cooking oil
• 2 tbsp – Butter
• Salt and pepper – to taste

Method:

  1. In a kadai, heat 2-3 tbsp oil and fry the onions.
  2. Add the spices and fry well for a minute, followed by the peas, meat, salt and pepper.
  3. Cook covered, for 2 minutes and then simmer, open, until dry.
  4. Cool to room temp.
  5. Take a tortilla at a time and put a tbsp of the veg/meat mixture on it.
  6. Rub some flour-paste onto the edges and fold the tortilla in half, pressing the edges to seal well.
  7. Repeat for the remaining tortillas and veg/meat mixture.
  8. Heat 1 tbsp butter in a pan and roast the tortillas on both sides for 30 secs each (to brown and crisp it a bit).
  9. Repeat with the rest (do 2-3 at a time if the size of the pan permits).
  10. Serve with ketchup or any sauce/chutney of your choice.
