Stuffed Pocket Thins

Pocket Thin  is a kind of bread available in USA.

The bread has a pockets (can be divided in to halves) and it is easy to fill your favourite stuff in to it and we can fry them, tava roast them, shallow them or even just bake them too. Thin pockets are mostly made of all purpose flour. Taste like bread, soft inside. It is also similar to Kabz or Kubz which we get in U.A.E. or Middle east part of the world.


I happened to see These Thin Pocket bread and was curious to prepare stuffed pockets. Interesting to know that this bread has pocket and it can be filled with your choice of boiled or cooked vegetables or raw grated veggies also.
I filled these thin pockets with our Indian style of Potato dry curry. One more thing to note here in USA potatoes do cook fast. I my self was surprised to experience this while cooking the potatoes. Anyways it was good, potatoes turn soft quickly and save your time.
