Curry chicken in Pita

Been looking for different staples to try out since I'm a bit sick of bread and rice. So came across wraps and pita bread in Cold Storage and thought, hey why not. It would go very well with my alfafa sprouts in the fridge.

Ingredients
1 packet of pita bread (5 pitas inside)
300g minced chicken
1 tbsp soya sauce
1 tsp tumeric powder
1 tsp cumin powder
1 tbsp curry powder
pepper to taste
1/4 cup shredded chedder cheese
Alfafa sprouts
Lettuce
Cooking oil

Method
1) Marinate the minced chicken with the soya sauce, tumeric, cumin, curry powder and pepper for at least 20 minutes.
2) Fry the minced chicken and be sure to try to separate it as much as you can, which tends to be harder than with minced pork or minced beef. Once cooked, remove to a plate to cool slightly.
3) Warm up the pita breads by brushing them with oil and then popping them under a grill or on a pan. Turn over halfway.
4) While still hot, cut a slit at the top. Fill it up with the lettuce, alfafa, chedder cheese and chicken.
5) You can flash it under a grill again just to melt the cheese. Otherwise, if you don't like 'warm' lettuce and alfafa, don't fill in the pocket but serve it on the side as a salad.
