Cheap Healthy Recipes – Wholemeal Curry Tortillas

Posted on 17. Sep, 2008 by Forest in Recipes & Food

While I was down in Vermont I went to one of my favorite restaurants. It’s called New World Tortilla ( I love having black beans, rice and cheese with spicy sauce inside mine) and they had a great new range of flavored tortillas. One of them was a really cool Curry Tortilla. When I got back to Montreal I decided to try and make my own version and I think the recipe works really well so I decided to make a video for you all.

This recipe is a little similar to my Quick Flat Bread recipe. If you are a bread lover, like me, I also suggest you check out my Wholemeal Raisin Bread recipe. All of these recipes are very frugal and I think pretty healthy.

wholemeal curry tortillas

….. And here is the recipe written down for you….

Makes approximate 10 large tortillas

Ingredients:

3 cups of Wholemeal Flour

1/2 Tablespoon of Brown Sugar

1/2 Tablespoon of Salt

1/2 Tablespoon of Turmeric

1 Tablespoon of Oil

1 1/2 Tablespoon of Good Quality Curry Powder

2/3 of a cup of Milk (I use 2%)

A little warm water

Spray oil for cooking

Method:

Put the Flour, Brown Sugar, Salt, Turmeric, Oil and Curry Powder into a large bowl and mix.

Add the milk and a little warm water to get a soft dough.

Turn the dough out onto a floured work surface and knead for about 10 minutes until the dough becomes a smooth elastic ball.

Let the dough site for at least 10 minutes before cooking.

Lightly flour the surface again, then use a rolling pin (or a glass snapple bottle like me ) to roll golf ball sized pieces of the dough into thin tortillas ready for cooking.

Heat a pan until it is very hot. As you can see in my video the pan is smoking.

Spray or brush a little oil onto the pan and then put a tortilla in. Spray or brush the top with a little oil and cook each torilla for 30-40 seconds on each side.

Ideally serve warm.

I store the dough in the fridge and often make fresh tortillas for my lunch. The dough can be stored in a sealed container for a week or so. Keep this dough at hand and you can always make fresh tortillas.

Please let me know how you get on with this recipe or if you create any variations.

This recipe seems pretty cool and I may yet try it for supper tonight.
Does it fold easily or does it crack? When I’ve tried to fold my tortillas after cooking, even when they’re fresh out of the pan, they crack when i try to roll them/fold them.

Thanks Peniless Parenting, generally unless I overcook them they roll well. It helps if you can let the dough sit for a while and knead it well.
