NOTES : This recipe for tikas (from the Indian word for "tidbits")
represents two "musts" for Sharmi Banik, of Chevy Chase, Maryland. One is
to remain true to her Indian heritage, and the other is to always serve
healthful, tasty food. To serve, fill each pita half with 6 chicken pieces,
and top with 2 tablespoons yogurt.
