Suneil's wrap

So this wrap is named for Suneil M. The most cutest, sweetest, evil host there ever will be. Most people think he is mild-mannered and sweet, but he is just biding his time to swoop in and floor you. :) I stayed with him and his roomie Pari (another sweet, cute, funnest person) for a month in which time they made life a million times better. I was away from V, miserable at work, and trying to job hunt. They spoiled me rotten with tea, random crack food, ice cream (i had one after dinner everyday)... need I say more? I miss them. Sigh. But I digest. This recipe was 'built' on the spot for his need.

What you need:
1. Frozen veggies/fresh veggies. Any veggies will do. Yes, even the mixes with corn in them. If its frozen, then thaw them in cold water. It is imperative that you do not thaw them using heat.

For the marinade:
2. Curd/Yogurt - enough to just coat the veggies, so it totally depends on the quantity of veggies. If you do not have enough yogurt, then just add some lime/lemon juice to it.
3. Garlic - your discretion. Can be left out as well.
4. Turmeric (1/2 tsp), Chilli/paprika powder (1 tsp; use your judgement), Coriander powder (1/2 tsp), Garam masala/Curry powder (1 tsp). This is my guess for 1 pound of veggies, so use your judgement or exceptional math skills. :)

5. Wrap, chapatti, or tortilla

For the raita:
6. Onion - half a cup, chopped
7. Green chillies/serrano peppers - 2, finely chopped. If you can't handle the heat, then just reduce it. No need to leave the kitchen! LOL. Ok, I am on flu medication. Do not judge my humour!
8. Tomatoes - 1, chopped
9. Cumin seeds/Jeera - 1/2 tsp
**end of raita**

How to do it:

Fixing the veggies:
1. Marinate the veggies with the yogurt, garlic, turmeric, chilli/paprika powder, coriander powder, garam masala/curry powder. The veggies should just be coated. If you have extra, do not panic. You can leave it in there, you can use it later. Now stick it in the fridge for half an hour at least or one hour. Worst case scenario, you can leave it in the fridge for two days. You HAVE to make it after that or throw it away.

Things to do while you wait for the veggies to be marinated:
2. In the meantime, finely chop the chillies, onion, and tomato. This is going to be for your raita. Since you are going to use the oven for the veggies, preheat it to 350 F. While your oven is preheating, you can get your baking sheet ready for the veggies. I presume the preheating takes 5-7 mins, so it should be enough time to get started. Line your baking sheet with aluminium foil (I personally favor the Reynolds non stick one, but you can use any aluminium foil and use a non stick spray on it), strain the veggies, and then put them on the aluminium foil. If there is not much marinade on it, then place another sheet of foil on it so it doesn't dry out. If there is a lot of marinade, then just leave it uncovered.

Baking the veggies:
3. The veggies should be in the oven for about 30 minutes. You will bake the veggies for 20 minutes at 350 F and then broil it on low/400 F for 5-10 minutes, depending on how charred you want the veggies to be. It looks like tandoori veggies if you let it go for about 10 minutes, but has a grilled flavor between 5 and 7 mins. If you are covering the veggies, take the foil off before you broil it.

4. While you are waiting for the veggies to bake, you can make your raita for the wrap. It will serve as your sauce. If you had any of the marinade left, you can add it to your raita now. Saute the onion and green chillies in a little oil. Add some cumin seeds (optional). Once the onions are brown, add the chopped tomato. Its important that you do this now because you can't put this hot mixture in the yogurt. It will break. Wait for the onions and tomato to get to room temperature before you add the yogurt to it. Now add salt to taste and put it in the refrigerator.

Assembling the wrap:
5. Toast the tortilla, put some veggies and the raita in it and eat up!
