Chicken Potato Stuffed Sandwich- Indian Style Naan Tikya

I have to first share a good news ....I am now a registered Dietitian in UK also. So that means I am now registered in India and UK. It took  almost a year for all of this to happen. A long wait ...phew...


Now back to some good food...that is Tasty, Healthy & on the top Quick!! 

Naan Tikya is a street food that I used to enjoy especially during Ramdan- holy month of fasting. They are like sandwiches...but made in a special bread called Naan....So Naanwiches we call!  Naan bread is different from tandoori naan, more like Turkish bread. 

I am going to share with you all a recipe that can be enjoyed in any bread and the spread can be made in advance and serves as good lunch ready in jiffy especially when you craving for something with curry flavours!

So here is the my version of the Naanwich recipe with chicken & potato stuffing. Not wasting any more time...here is the recipe that I had promised to share. 

Ingredients
1 teaspoon cooking oil

Few pieces of chicken, boiled and shredded (I had mine from the chicken soup I had prepared) 
4 medium potato, boiled and mashed
1 medium onion, chopped
2 medium tomatoes, chopped
1 green chilly, chopped

1 teaspoons whole cumin
1  teaspoon of red chilly powder
1 teaspoon cumin-coriander powder
1/2  teaspoon turmeric powder
About 1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon lemon juice


Cooking Method
Heat the oil in a wide pot over a medium flame. When hot, add whole cumin and green chillies.
Then add onions and cook for 5-7 minutes or so until they’re starting to turn brown.
















Add chopped tomatoes and fry for a couple of minutes with some juiciness left.


Add the spices (chilly powder, cumin-coriander powder, turmeric powder, salt).
Now add the boiled potato mash and shredded chicken. Mix well and simmer for 5 minutes for the flavours to marry well. 


 Add lemon juice after removing from the heat. That is the stuffing ready! I normally store it in the container and heat and use as and when required. A quick fix for a hungry stomach craving for something hot. 



I couldn't resist the temptation to have one just when I prepared it. So one for each of us.



Stuffed my sandwich breads and grilled. Yummy Naanwiches ready!! A saviour when u craving curry flavours but not a curry...confusing me!!



Here they are ready to go in my tummy!! As they say 'Yummy for my Tummy'



P.S: This stuffing is great to make on a weekend and store in the refrigerator for a week. It really serves as a tasty, filling food for days when you just need that extra help! This is strongly recommended recipe...You have to try this to believe how amazing this simple stuffing taste. Hope you enjoy!!


Catch up soon with my review on Island Curries. I received a lovely parcel, a great gesture from across the continent! 

It is Island Curries - Taste the Difference from Australia ....from the Tasmania island.

They are not just any curries ...but they are preservative free, additive fre
e and Gluten free curries! They use freshly ground seeded spices like coriander, fenugreek, fennel which is so authentic to Indian flavours and also unique to other products. 

Thinking what to start with... Fish, Chicken, Vindaloo or Vegetable curry...Excited to have a curry night soon!
