Kebabeque

This recipe is classic and amazingly easy to make! When I was about 9 years old, my mom invented it for us to take on picnics: the Tandoori Chicken Pita Pocket ! It requires a bit more preparation time than most foods, but is totally worth it.

Ingredients
Chicken breast
Ginger
Garlic
Tandoori Masala
Yogurt
Onions
Cucumber
Pita Bread
Olive Oil
Vinegar
Salt

Cut the chicken breast into small pieces and marinate it overnight in the yogurt (with ginger, garlic and tandoori spices). Tandoori chicken recipes will vary depending on the spice mix you get, so its easiest to just follow the directions. The longer it marinates, the softer and spicier the chicken will be.

Grill the chicken in an oven at 350-400 degrees, until the sides of the meat start to char. Remove and allow to cool.
Cut the pita into half, and stuff the inside with the tandoori chicken and sliced onions. As a dressing, you can either make a yogurt topping (yogurt+water+shredded cucumber) or a nice french dressing (olive oil+garlic+salt+vinegar). Add lettuce, tomato and sliced cucumber as per your taste.
