A Café-Style Italian Sandwich at Home in Just 15 Minutes

Some lunches look like they took hours to make.

This isn't one of them.

With one Zulekha Pocket Paratha, a handful of fresh ingredients, and just 15 minutes, you can create a crispy Italian-inspired sandwich that's bursting with flavour. Think creamy burrata, fresh pesto, juicy tomatoes, savoury meats, and flaky golden layers in every bite.

It's fresh. It's indulgent. And the best part? It's ridiculously easy.


What You'll Need

  • 1 Zulekha Pocket Paratha
  • 2 tbsp green pesto
  • 1 large tomato, sliced
  • 3–4 slices seasoned chicken Turkey Salami
  • A few slices of beef bresaola
  • A handful of fresh rocket
  • Fresh burrata
  • a pinch of black pepper

Step 1: Let the Pocket Paratha Do the Work

The beauty of our Pocket Paratha is that there's no prep involved.

Simply take one straight from the freezer and cook it:

  • Air Fryer: 200°C for around 15 minutes
  • Oven: 200°C for around 15 minutes
  • Pan: Medium heat until beautifully golden

Flip halfway through cooking so both sides become evenly crisp.

By the end, you'll have buttery, flaky layers with a perfectly crisp shell that's ready to be filled.


Step 2: Start with Pesto

Every great Italian sandwich starts with a flavour-packed base.

Spread a generous layer of pesto inside your crispy Pocket Paratha.

Don't be shy. Every corner deserves some.


Step 3: Add the Freshness

Lay down thick slices of ripe tomato.

They're juicy, sweet, and balance the richness of the pesto perfectly.

Already looking good.


Step 4: Layer the Protein

Fold in slices of seasoned chicken Turkey Salami

Then add delicate ribbons of beef bresaola for that authentic Italian deli flavour.

The combination is simple but incredibly satisfying.


Step 5: Bring It to Life

Scatter over a handful of fresh rocket.

Its peppery bite lifts every other flavour in the sandwich.


Step 6: The Star of the Show

Now for the ingredient that takes this from a quick lunch to something you'd happily order at a café.

Tear over generous pieces of creamy burrata.

Finish with plenty of freshly cracked black pepper.

Close the Pocket Paratha...

...and try not to eat it before taking a photo.


Why It Works

Crispy, flaky Pocket Paratha instead of ordinary bread.

Fresh pesto brings a burst of herby flavour.

Juicy tomatoes keep everything light and fresh.

Layers of chicken and bresaola make every bite satisfying.

Creamy burrata ties it all together.

It's rich without feeling heavy, fresh without being boring, and ready before you'd even think about ordering lunch.


Make It Your Own

One of the best things about Pocket Paratha is how versatile it is.

Try adding:

  • Mozzarella instead of burrata
  • Parma ham instead of bresaola
  • Grilled vegetables
  • Fresh basil leaves
  • Balsamic glaze
  • Sun-dried tomatoes
  • Parmesan shavings
  • A drizzle of chilli oil for a little kick

There are no rules here. Just great flavours.


One Pocket. Endless Possibilities.

Who says sandwiches have to be made with bread?

Our Pocket Paratha transforms everyday ingredients into something that feels completely different. Golden, flaky layers with a crisp bite on the outside, soft inside, and ready to hold all your favourite fillings.

Whether you're making lunch for yourself, packing a picnic, or impressing guests without spending hours in the kitchen, this recipe proves that incredible food doesn't have to be complicated.

Just 15 minutes.

One Pocket Paratha.

And a little taste of Italy.
