💚 Instructions 💚
For tandoori soya:
Soak 1 cup of soya chunks in 3 cups of hot boiling water for 15 minutes or until tender.
Now drain them and press out excess water and shift in a deep bowl.
Add in yogurt, lemon juice and all the masalas and mix well.
Marinade for minimum 30 minutes.
In a pan, heat olive oil.
Add in ginger paste, green chili paste and grated tomato and sauté for few seconds.
Then add marinated soya chunks into it and mix until well combined.
You can now grill them on a grill plate or sandwich maker or tandoor if you have. Or can simply skip this step too.
For tzatziki sauce:
Sprinkle a pinch of salt onto the shredded cucumber.
Let it sit for a few minutes then lightly squeeze the cucumber between your palms to remove excess water/moisture. (You can also use a cheesecloth or paper towel to draw out the moisture.)
In a deep bowl, add yogurt, olive oil, lemon juice, dill, salt, and pepper powder. And mix well.
Now add in cucumber and mix until well combined.
Keep it in the refrigerator for 1 hour.
Assembling:
Just before serving, warm pitas.
Place warmed-up pitas on a work surface, fluffier side down.
Spread some tzatziki sauce over it.
Fill with lettuce, cucumber, tomato, and tandoori soya chunks.
Sprinkle some dried thyme/oregano.
Gently fold the pitas over the filling, wrap in a piece of paper and tie with a string.
Serve with a generous dollop of tzatziki sauce and fries.
