This decidedly non-authentic recipe is a cross between doubles (a Trinidadian sandwich of fried bread and curried chickpeas) and a kathi roll (essentially an Indian wrap). Grace Parisi folds Indian roti bread around a filling of zucchini, okra, chickpeas, tomato and spinach in a creamy, tangy, curried yogurt sauce.More Vegetarian Main Dishes

Instructions Checklist
  • In a large, deep skillet, heat the oil. Add the zucchini, okra, scallions and chile and season with salt and pepper. Cook over high heat, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are crisp-tender and lightly browned, about 5 minutes. Add the chickpeas and curry and cook over moderate heat, stirring, for 3 minutes. Add the tomato and spinach and cook, stirring occasionally, until the spinach is wilted and the tomato is just beginning to soften, about 3 minutes. Add the water and scrape up any browned bits stuck to the skillet. Season the vegetables with salt and pepper and stir in the yogurt. Stuff the pitas with the vegetables, garnish with the cilantro sprigs and serve.
