Around the World in 80 Days - Calcutta, India

As part of our Around the World in 80 Days series we find Phileas Fogg and Passepartout - Toaster in hand - approaching Calcutta, India with a woman they recently saved in the jungle. Before moving onto Hong Kong, our duo find theirselves in a bit of a predicament having entered a sacred Hindu Temple. It’ll cost them both time and money, but they make it through in time to catch the steamer Rangoon to Hong Kong as well as pull out their toaster to enjoy a Calcutta-style Toastilla.

Calcutta is really the king of street foods and one of the most common are Kathi Rolls which are think roti flatbread topped with ingredients and rolled. My stomach is rolling in hunger just thinking about them. ​

Ingredients:

• Tortilla
• 1 cup cauliflower florets
• ½ cup diced carrots
• ½ cup diced potatoes (dice them small)
• ¼ cup peas
• Masala sauce (can be found at most grocery stores)
• Onion
• Chili powder
• Shredded Monterey cheese

Directions:

I prefer to steam the first four ingredients together in our rice cooker, however, you can also add a little olive oil and saute the ingredients until the potatoes are cooked through.

Once the ingredients are fully cooked add the Masala sauce which you can find pre-made in the Indian or Asian section or your grocery store.

Add the mixture to your tortilla, wrap and toast one cycle.

As the Toastilla is toasting saute a few thin slices of onion in a pan and sprinkle chili powder onto the onion.

The onion should be done by the time the Toastilla pops in your toaster. Top Toastilla with shredded cheese and the onion.

This is another recipe that works well with sauces. Plain Greek yogurt or sour cream are nice additions.

Stay tuned as our well-fed travelers venture to Hong Kong on their adventure Around the World in 80 days.
