A colourful lunch wraps with the flavours of India and a rainbow of vegetables.

ONION BHAJI LUNCH WRAP
I do love a well-filled wrap for lunch. They make a nice change to sandwiches.
You can add so many different fillings and they are hearty and portable.
On the menu today is a colourful onion bhaji wrap.
It's our favourite wrap at the moment. It's easy to whip up and it has so much flavour and texture.
ONION BHAJI
Onion bhaji is a type of Indian fritter a bit like pakora.
They are deep-fried for that crunchy finish.
The bhajis are made from sliced onions, gram flour, spices and water.
You can make your own, but for an easy and quick lunch wrap, you can use ready-made onion bhajis which are available in most supermarkets in the chilled aisle.

EAT THE RAINBOW
This is one colourful lunch!
They say you should eat the rainbow to improve your health and this wrap is definitely a rainbow.
As well as onion bhaji, this wrap also contains mixed salad leaves, grated vegan cheddar, grated vegetables and a drizzle of tasty sauce.
You can make your wrap even more nutritious by swapping the salad leaves for spinach or kale and serve it with a side salad, a piece of fruit and a small glass of fruit juice.

PACKING LUNCH WRAPS
If you're adding a wrap to your lunch box, you need to think about how you pack it.
Make sure you wrap them tightly, cut in half and wrap firmly.
You can wrap them in greaseproof paper or foil.
If I am wrapping up a lunch wrap that may leak, I will wrap it in kitchen paper before wrapping in foil or greaseproof paper.
Serve with Easy Paprika Tortilla Chips
HOW LONG WILL A LUNCH WRAP KEEP?
Once made and wrapped a lunch wrap can be kept in the fridge for a couple of days.
It's always going to be best eaten the same day it is made, but you can get away with having it the next day, if it's well wrapped and stored in the fridge.
These wraps are not suitable for freezing.
For dinner, serve this wrap with a bowl of easy tomato soup

WHICH VEGETABLES CAN I GRATE OR SHRED AND ADD TO SANDWICHES OR WRAPS?
This wrap contains grated carrot and beetroot, but there are lots of vegetables you can grate or shred and add to sandwiches or wraps raw and uncooked.
- Beetroot - grate
- Brussels Sprouts - grate or shred
- Cabbage - shred
- Carrots - grate
- Courgette (zucchini) - grate
- Kale - shred
- Kohlrabi - grate or shred
- Lettuce - shred
- Onion - shred
- Parsnips - grate
- Radishes - grate
- Spinach - shred

HOW TO FOLD A LUNCH WRAP

One of the most important thing about a lunch wrap is folding it the right way. Do it wrong or wrap it loosely and it will be a messy disaster.
Here are my easy steps.
- Place a large flour tortilla on a large plate or cutting board.
- Spread with dairy-free spread, mustard or mayo. These create a barrier between the wrap and the filling.
- Add your filling in a line horizontally about 3/4 of the way up, leaving a border.
- Fold each side of the wrap partially over the filling.
- Fold the top of the wrap securely over the filling, holding firmly.
- Roll towards you, holding it firmly. You to wrap as tightly as you can without squashing the filling.
- Cut in half and serve or wrap in foil or greaseproof paper.

Everyone at my house loved it!! It is so tasty and delicious!
ReplyDeleteOh I am so glad you loved it. It's my husband's new favourite.
DeleteI've never had onion bhaji before and wondering where to find it. These wraps look really tasty and healthy, so I need to find a bhaji source.
ReplyDeleteYou can make it yourself. Just finely slice onions, then make a batter with gram flour (made from ground chickpeas), spices, a little baking powder and add water to make a batter. Dip handfuls of onion in the batter then fry in semi-deep oil.
DeleteA great healthy grab and go lunch. The perfect opportunity to add whatever veggies you like.
ReplyDeleteOh yes there's lots of veg you can grate or shred and add to this rainbow wrap.
