Easy vegetarian lunch recipe! These aloo gobhi filled pitta pockets are straightforward to put together, tasty and healthy too. Save extra time by prepping the night before. Great WFH lunch idea and they make an easy dinner recipe too.

Serves 1

What you need

  • 2 wholemeal pittas (wholemeal healthier than white, but if you prefer white/flavoured use that!)

  • 12 cherry tomatoes, halved

  • 2 medium potatoes, peeled and diced into bite size pieces

  • 1/2 head large/ 1 head small cauliflower, cut into bite size florets

  • 6 tbsp Greek yogurt

  • 1 heaped tsp ginger garlic paste

  • 1 tsp cumin powder

  • 1 tsp coriander powder

  • 1/2 tsp garam masala

  • 1/2 tsp red chilli powder

  • 1/2 tsp turmeric

  • small handful coriander leaves, finely chopped

  • 8-10 mint leaves, finely chopped

  • lemon

  • leafy salad

  • salt

  • pepper

  • vegetable oil

What you do

  1. Preheat oven to 200c (fan)

  2. Chuck your cauliflower florets into a baking dish

  3. Add 3 tbsps Greek yogurt, coriander powder, cumin powder, garam masala, ginger-garlic paste, 1/4 tsp turmeric, 1/4 tsp red chilli powder, salt and pepper, and a drizzle of vegetable oil

  4. Mix it all in nicely and set aside

  5. In another baking dish, place the cherry tomatoes cut side up. Drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle salt and pepper, and set aside

  6. In a third baking dish, place your cut potatoes. Sprinkle salt, pepper, 1/4 tsp turmeric, 1/4 tsp red chilli powder, and drizzle with vegetable oil. Mix well, and set aside

  7. Now place all three baking dishes in the oven for 30 minutes

  8. While they’re cooking, make the raita! In a bowl, mix 3 tbsp Greek yogurt, the finely chopped mint and coriander, salt, pepper and a squeeze of lemon

  9. Gently ease the top and bottom halves of the pitta apart to create a pocket, with a sharp knife

  10. Once the cauli, potatoes and tomatoes are cooked, pull out of the oven

  11. Pop the pittas in for a minute to warm through

  12. Now you’re ready to assemble! Spoon some raita into the pocket and spread, then push some leafy salad in, then spoon in the potatoes and the cauliflower and tomatoes, spoon on more raita. You’re done! Enjoy
