Instructions
  1. For the pita bread dough, mix flour, sugar and salt. Add oil and hot water.
  2. Stir with a spoon, then with your hands for 5 minutes. The dough should be plastic and pliable. Cover and put in a warm place for 1 hour.
  3. Meanwhile, marinate the chicken fillet. Mix everything for the marinade: coriander, basil, curry and salt and mash in a mortar. Coat the chicken fillet. Cover and refrigerate. Peel the onion and cut it into thin half rings. Add a pinch of salt and sugar and 0.5 tsp of apple cider vinegar. If desired, you can pre-scald the onion.
  4. After an hour, knead the dough and divide it into 8 parts (about 80 g each). On a floured surface, roll out one piece of dough into a circle with a diameter of about 15 cm.
  5. Heat a dry frying pan over medium heat and lay out the tortillas. She should have pouted. As soon as it inflates, immediately turn over and fry on the other side. Meanwhile, roll out the next tortilla. When the pita bread cools down, it will deflate.
  6. As soon as the pita bread is cooked, add a little oil to the pan and fry the chicken fillet until it is browned on both sides, turn off the stove, close the lid and leave.
  7. Meanwhile, cut the cabbage into thin slices, add a pinch of salt and sugar, mix and mash with your hands. Cucumbers and tomatoes cut into thin slices.
  8. Cut the chicken fillet into thin strips. To prepare the sauce, mix all the ingredients. You can use just mayonnaise (including homemade) or any other of your favorite sauces that will go with chicken meat. Cut the pita bread in half (if the pita is not fully inflated, do not worry, you can cut it a little when you cut it).
  9. Brush the pita with the sauce, put the pickled onions, meat and other vegetables. Pour a small amount of sauce over it.
  10. Bon appetit.
