          These wraps are a popular street food / snack that is much liked by one and all. Even some store bought Tikkas can be used to prepare this delicacy if time is a restraint. So check out the step by step pictorial recipe to prepare this great comfort snack.

• 1 cup atta (whole wheat flour)
• salt to taste
• 1 tbsp. oil to knead
• 2 eggs, beaten well with a pinch of salt & pepper powder
• 1 cup chicken tikka, shredded
• 4 tbsp. tomato ketchup / green chutney
• 2 cheese slices, each cut into half
• 1 onion, sliced
• 1 tomato, sliced
• 2 lettuce leaves
• 2-3 tbsp. coriander leaves, chopped
• oil to shallow fry

             Knead a dough with atta, salt to taste, 1 tbsp. oil and required quantity of water. Keep aside for 30 minutes. Divide it into 2 equal portions.

          Roll out each portion of the dough into a circle, just like chapatis. Heat a little oil in a tawa / griddle and fry one chapatti on both sides till slightly cooked.

          Add half of the beaten egg on one side of the chapatti and swirl it around so that it is evenly spread on the chapatti. 

          Fry for a minute and flip it over when set. Fry till both the sides are done. Fry the other chapati in the same way.

          To assemble, take a paratha and spread half of the tomato ketchup. Place a lettuce over it, followed by the cheese slice, half of the chicken tikka pieces lengthwise, onion, tomato and coriander leaves on the egg side of the parathas. 

          Gently roll over and secure with paper napkin / foil. Serve as a tea-time snack, a lunch box meal or for a light lunch / dinner.

Grilled Podi (Gunpowder) Chicken

          Made these yummy grilled chicken with a difference. I marinated with some Andhra special spices (Nalla Karam Podi & Kura Karam Podi). You can substitute it with kashmiri red chili powder and any idli podi (gunpowder). 

           These can be served as great party appetizers and relished with some tongue tingling green chutney / garlic chutney and a drizzle of some lemon juice for that extra tang. 

           You may have these small bites as a light meal along with some salad / soup or as a wrap for your evening snack. Pack them for a lunch box meal if you wish. Options are aplenty. Choice is yours. 

• 500 gms. boneless chicken
• salt to taste
• pinch of turmeric powder
• 1 tbsp. Andhra special Kura Karam Podi (use Kashmiri red chili powder instead)
• 1 tbsp. Andhra special Nalla karam Podi (use idli podi instead)
• 1 tsp. garlic paste
• 1 sprig curry leaves, chopped
• 1 tbsp. oil
• 1 tbsp. lime juice
• extra podi to garnish
• extra oil to baste while grilling 

          Marinate the chicken with all the mentioned ingredients overnight. 

          Grill on both sides for 25-30 minutes. Baste with some oil midway. 

         Transfer to a serving plate and serve with onion rings, green chilies, lemon wedges and a sprinkle of some idli podi.
