Eastern Inspired "Rotis"

This is one of my favorite dishes. It's hearty, flavorful, and aromatic! It's inspired by the rotis you might find in any East Indian cafe, but with my own twist! It's actually sort of a fusion of rotis and gyros to be exact. I use the fry bread recipe to hold it all together. FYI: This is absolutely divine with the Indian Summer Mint Julep!



North African Inspired Chicken
1/2 lb. Chicken Breasts or 3 lrg. Chicken Breasts
1 tsp. Salt
3 Tbsp. Plain Nonfat Yogurt
1 Tbsp. Chopped Mint
1/4 tsp. Chili Powder
1/4 tsp. Turmeric
1/4 tsp. Coriander
1/4 tsp. Cumin
1/4 tsp. Black Pepper
1/4 tsp. Cinnamon
1/2 C. Fresh Cilantro, chopped
2 tsp. Honey
Pinch of Cayenne Pepper

Directions: After cleaning your chicken breasts , cut them into large chunks. Place the chicken in a large bowl and with the tip of your knife poke small holes into your pieces..this will help keep your chicken tender. Now add all of your seasoning including the yogurt. Stir together so that the marinade covers all of the chicken. Pour onto a baking sheet, spreading the chicken apart so that they do not stick to each other. Bake in a 350 degree oven until done.

Lentils
1/2 C. Dry Lentils, washed
1/2 tsp. Turmeric
1/2 tsp. Salt
1 Chicken Bouillon Cube
2 1/2 C. Water

Directions: Boil until lentils are firm and tender. Do not overcook or your lentils will turn too mashed lentils..lol.

Dill Sauce
2 Tbsp. Plain Nonfat Yogurt
3 Tbsp. Sour Cream
1/4 tsp. Salt
1/4 tsp. Yellow Curry Powder
1 tsp. Dill Weed
1 tsp. Honey

Directions: Mix all of your ingredients together and you're done!

Curried Onions
You can make this as spicy or as mild as you like by adding more or less red curry paste.

1/2 White Onion
Red Curry Paste
Honey
Olive Oil

Directions: Finely chop your onions. add your desired amount of curry paste and a drizzle of honey and olive oil. Stir until well combines.

Garnish
Romaine Lettuce
Cilantro
Fresh Spinach
Roma Tomato

Plating: Place your fry bread flat onto your plate. Shred your lettuce, cilantro, and spinach leaves all together and place along the center of your bread, as if you were making a taco. Drizzle a bit of your dill sauce on top. Now add your lentils, then your chicken. Top with dill sauce, curried onions, and diced roma tomatoes. Fold to eat and taste the flavors!
