Ingredients (serves 2 persons):

- 2 wholewheat pita bread. You can also use whole wheat tortilla or chappati

- 1 whole chopped onion

To prepare:

- Heat veg. oil (1 tbsp) and saute the cabbage leaves on high heat (don't burn them). They should be caramelized and kept aside.

- Saute the chopped onion and the minced garlic in a skillet until it is light brown in color.
- Throw in the meat (or tofu), salt and sugar, tomato paste (or ketchup), chilli powder and the herb or the cardamom powder.
- Stir all the ingredients together until the mixture looks well cooked. It should be dry.

- Arrange the cabbage leaves on the pita bread.
- Sprinkle the soya sauce and the hot sauce over it.
- Scoop the meat or the tofu mixture and layer over the arranged cabbage leaves.
- Garnish it sliced red onion and greens.

Serve it with fruits or pack it to go.

This is an excellent light lunch, low caloried and tasty. To make it somewhat exotic, you can sprinkle low caloried cheese or any cheese of your choice.
