Curried Tuna Pita Pockets

Features:

    I really enjoyed this sandwich for lunch today. It was a bit like coronation chicken (but with tuna, obviously) which is a dish I really enjoy but the basil was something I never would have thought to add and it gave it a different lift. used a medium curry powder because I am a spice wimp and it was all well balanced for my taste buds.
