Spinach - Chickpea Wraps
My kids, especially my daughter loves vegetable wraps and sandwiches and so when Pavani posted these wraps in one of the earlier blogging marathons, I bookmarked them and tried immediately. She showed how these wraps were picnic friendly and so obviously I feel that they are opt ones for lunchbox as well. These wraps have a chickpea curry + a salad blend filling and are nutritious and yummy ones. The only thing to remember is to prepare a very dry filling. My filling was a little on the wet side since I made them for a weekend lunch. :)
Ingredients:
Tortillas (I used spinach ones. Even rotis can be substituted.)
A blend of lettuce, julienned carrot, sliced red onions
For chickpea filling:
1 Tbsp oil
1 tsp cumin seeds
1/2 tsp grated ginger
1/8 tsp turmeric powder
1 onion, finely chopped
2 tomatoes
Salt & chili powder to taste
1/2 tsp chana masala
Preparing the filling:
* Soak chickpeas in water overnight and pressure cook until tender. Keep aside.
* Heat oil in a sauté pan, add cumin seeds and ginger. Once the seeds start to splutter add turmeric and onions. Sauté until they soften; next add tomato and cook until done.
* Then add the cooked chickpeas, channa masala, red chili powder, salt and mix well.
* Cook until the curry is almost dry. Take care that the curry is not watery since the wraps are going to be soggy.
Assembling the wraps:
* Microwave each tortilla for a minute.
* Place chickpea curry filling and the salad mixture on the bottom half of the tortilla and fold the ends over the filling, roll and wrap to make the sandwich.
