- 2 sprigs Mint leaves (Pudina), for garnish

- 1/2 cup Hung curd (Greek Yogurt)
- 1/2 teaspoon Red chili flakes
- Salt, to taste
Preparation Time:
- 5 minutes
Cooking Time:
- 30 minutes
Instructions:
-
Boil the Potatoes: Begin by parboiling the potatoes in a pressure cooker for one whistle. Once done, peel the skin off and cut the potatoes into small cubes. Set them aside for later use.

-
Prepare the Dressing: In a small bowl, combine all the ingredients for the red bell pepper yogurt dressingโfinely chopped red bell peppers, hung curd (Greek yogurt), red chili flakes, and salt. Stir well and set it aside.
-
Cook the Potatoes: Heat oil in a heavy-bottomed pan. Add the dried oregano, thyme, black pepper powder, and the cubed potatoes. Toss the potatoes thoroughly so they are well-coated with the seasonings. Season with salt to taste and cook on low heat for about 10 minutes until the potatoes turn golden brown and crispy on the outside.
-
Warm the Tortillas: While the potatoes are cooking, warm the tortillas in a skillet. Lightly brush the tortillas with some oil to ensure they get soft and pliable. Once warmed, set them aside.
-
Assemble the Wraps: Take each warm tortilla and spread a generous layer of the red bell pepper yogurt dressing in the center. Next, place a portion of the spiced potato filling in the middle. Garnish with a few fresh mint leaves for a refreshing touch.
-
Fold and Serve: Carefully fold the sides of the tortilla to enclose the filling and create a wrap. Serve immediately with your favorite dip or enjoy on its own!
