Bombay Potato Stacks
Inspired by a trip to Kerb at Seven Dials Market after Mrs Meat Smoke Fire polished off an Indian chicken wrap for lunch.
The cripy egg-fried paratha was filled with gently spiced succulent chicken and enveloped in pickled onions, fresh coriander, tamarind chutney, raita and a squeeze of lime. It was to die for. So we had a go at making one ourselves.
You could substitute a paratha with a tortilla wrap.
