I have lived in the US for 12 years (I live in Europe now) and during my stay, I have indulged myself to spicy and some delicious Mexican dishes that really satisfied my taste buds and since I come from the Indian subcontinent (countries that include India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Nepal, Bhutan, Sri Lanka and the Maldives), some of the dishes have a similar version where I come from. The fact is that I love cooking and enjoy trying out dishes from other countries and also blending them in with Indian style dishes which I find it as a creative thing to do. Take the Burrito for instance.

Now before I begin, I just want to let you guys know that I'll be using a lot of Indian names when describing some of the food items and will explain what they are after, so bear with me if you don't get it, I totally understand! So anyway, I have been thinking of doing an Indian version of the Burrito and below is the recipe.

You will need: (This accounts roughly for 2 to 3 servings)

1. Cut 400g of minced beef. 
2. Crushed garlic (2 or 3 cloves) or use garlic paste (1/2 tablespoon). 
3. 2 medium sized chopped onions (You can use one if you are not a fan of onions!). 
4. 1 teaspoon Chilli powder or use 2 chopped green chilies. 
5. 1 teaspoon Cumin powder. 
6. salt (add to your taste). 
7. 1 teaspoon Turmeric powder 
8. A few chopped Parsley (adds flavor to your dish). 
9. Sunflower Oil (my preference for a healthy alternative. You can use vegetable oil if you prefer). 
10. Ready-made Indian flatbread (Roti or chapati. You can buy frozen ones from Indian grocery stores). 
11. 2 chopped medium sized tomatoes.

Preparation:

1. Use a medium-sized cooking pot and bring it to medium heat and pour about two tablespoons of Sunflower oil.

2. After about 10 seconds, add chopped onions and crushed garlic or garlic paste and stir it for 2 to 3 minutes on medium heat.

3. Add the recommended Chilli powder or chopped green chilies, cumin powder, salt, Turmeric powder stir again for 2 to 3 minutes.

4. Add the chopped tomatoes and stir for another 2 minutes.

5. Add the cut up minced beef in to the pot and mix all of the ingredients using your spatula so that all of the spices, onions, and garlic get onto the beef and cover the pot with a lid and let it heat for 20 minutes, stirring in between every 4 to 5 minute intervals to make sure nothing sticks to the bottom of the pot. Add a little bit of water.

6. After 20 minutes, turn off the heat. Open the lid and let the steam out for a couple of minutes.

7. Take 2 or chapatis (Indian flatbread) and heat it in a frying pan and then lay them out on a plate. Cut up a lemon and place it on the side of the plate.

8. The minced beef dish which is called 'Keema' is similar the 'Chili' (in the US, chili is a dish cooked using ground beef with tomato sauce and some spices like oregano, chilli powder, salt, and cayenne), but the Indian style 'chilli' is drier without the tomato sauce.

9. Use your spatula and spread the cooked minced beef in the middle of the flatbread (chapati) and squirt some lemon juice from the chopped lemon slice and add some finely chopped parsley to add flavor and then wrap the flatbread around like how burritos are wrapped and Viola!! There is your Indian styled Burrito!! You can add your own preferred sauces as you like and also add lettuce or chopped tomatoes or sliced onions, as you like to suit your taste.

So there you go, hope some of you try it out and let me know what you think! I have more recipes to post but want to start with one and see people taking a shot at it and come back with some feedback.
