Healthy Pockets by Sangeeta on Nov 8, 2011
Actually pita bread is the staple food of Middle Eastern countries,usually made with all purpose flour using yest,but i made it with multi grain flour.....no baking...no yest,quick n easy to make. This pockets are so tasty n sweet n tangy you can have it on it"s own,with tea/coffee ,if you are in a hurry and don"t have the time to make stuffing..so just go for it:))))))))))

For Pockets:
In a mixing bowl add all flours,salt,sugar and baking powder,mix well.By using all juices make normal dough,no need to add extra water,keep covered for 1/2 an hrs.
Now make tennis ball size, balls from dough,roll thick chapattis,use dry flour if needed.
On a hot griddle/tawa roast chapattis,from both sides by using oil / butter.Cool and cut from the middle and you will get two pockets out of one chapatti.
Apply ketchup / green chuttny /any hot sauce / salsa inside the pockets and spoon the stuff in it,garnish with cheese / paneer any thing of your choice...Serve on the bed of cabbage:)
For Stuff:
In a pan heat oil,butter and then add all the ingredients one by one (given under stuffing) and swat for 2-3 mins,cool and spoon into the pockets.
If wish you can grill this pockets in micro for 1 min,to melt the cheese...:)
Vegans can avoid butter and cheese,instead they can use oil and tofu .
