Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

2 1/2 cups cubed white potatoes

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup Neufchatel or cream cheese -- at room temperature

1 tablespoon vegetable oil

1 cup diced onions

1 clove garlic -- minced or pressed

1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger root

1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon turmeric

1/8 teaspoon cayenne -- or to taste

1/2 cup frozen green peas

1/2 cup chopped fresh tomatoes

2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice

salt to taste

6 whole wheat chapatis or flour tortillas -- (7-inch)*

 

Preheat the oven to 350ºF. Lightly oil a baking dish.

 

Place the potatoes and salt in a small pot with water to cover and bring to a

boil. Reduce the heat, cover, and cook for about 10 minutes, until tender. When

the potatoes are tender, drain and mash them with the Neufchatel, and set aside.

 

Meanwhile, warm the oil in a saucepan, and saute the onions and garlic on medium

heat for about 10 minutes, until translucent. Add the ginger, cinnamon,

turmeric, and cayenne, and cook for 1 to 2 minutes, stirring constantly. Add

the peas and the tomatoes, cover, and cook on low heat just long enough to heat

through. Stir the cooked vegetables and the lemon juice into the mashed

potatoes. Add salt to taste.

 

Place a generous 1/3 cup of the filling at the bottom of each chapati and roll

it up. Place the wraps seam side down in the prepared baking dish, cover with

aluminum foil, and bake for 10 to 15 minutes, until hot.

NOTES : * Note: We recommend Cedarlane whole wheat chapatis, a flat Indian

" bread " available in natural food stores and well-stocked supermarkets.

 

Chapatis, made from whole wheat flour and water, are simple Indian flat breads

that are traditionally served with curries and used to scoop up the sauce and

bits of vegetables. Some of us at Moosewood have made our own from scratch.

Those available in natural foods stores and large supermarkets tend to be more

pliable than the homemade kind, so they lend themselves to more uses, like these

wraps. Try them accompanied by Rhubarb Cherry Chutney (page 383).
