indian style burrito

here's what's up. i just made the best leftovers, and am so excited!! i know i just put up the recipe for dahl earlier today, but i'm gonna show you how i used it to make the best dinner evveerrr - what i call an indian style burrito. simply delishhh.

sooo goooood  : )

indian style burrito. what the hell? well, i substituted the tortilla for a pita pocket (also less calories), the salsa would be the dahl (thus why i left it cold) the veggies would be like the lettuce or the tomato, and the eggs are like the meat/beans. it's just epic.

so, here's how you do it!

you will need:

1/2 a whole wheat pita pocket

2 tbsp leftover dahl

1/2 tsp garam masala

1 tsp curry powder

1/2 tsp cumin

1/2 tsp chili powder

1/2 tsp chili flakes

1 tsp olive oil

splash of low sodium, low calorie chicken broth

1/2 a green pepper

1/4 a zucchini 

1/4 onion

2 cloves of garlic

1 or 2 eggs

1/2 tsp butter/margarine

step 1:

dice zucchini and green pepper, finely chop onion and crush garlic.

step 2:

in a medium sized pan set to medium heat, add oil. when hot, add in the garlic and onion. cook stirring constantly until onion is translucent. then add in spices and cook for another 2 minutes, stirring constantly.

step 3: 

add in zucchini and green pepper. add a little chicken broth, and cook for 10 minutes. at this point, get a separate, smaller pan and prepare it for your eggs. set to medium heat and add in some margarine/butter. 

step 4: 

when veggies are soft, crack your eggs into a small bowl and whip them. if you like, you can add milk to make them fluffier. add eggs into small pan and scramble them. 

step 5: 

once eggs are cooked, take the pita pocket and open it. add a layer of dahl. (i left it cold, but you can heat it up if you want)

step 6:

on top of the dahl, add a layer of eggs.

step 7:

add the curried veggies on top of the eggs. voila!

layer of curried veggies.

note: if you open your pita pocket and the sides are particularly thin, be careful while adding the dahl, it will cause one side to become soft. you can add in any veggies you want, i just had the green pepper and zucchini handy.

i will definitely be having this again tomorrow, either for dinner or for lunch. it turned out SO GOOD!! so people, you now have another reason to make the dahl - so you can experience the awesome indian style burrito.
