  12. 12Season with a pinch of salt.
  13. 13Season with ground or cracked pepper.
  14. 14Mix all ingredients to combine thoroughly, using a spatula or glove to avoid turmeric staining.

  17. 17Add the grated cucumber to a cloth or towel and squeeze out as much moisture as possible into a bowl.

  20. 20Squeeze in the juice from about half a lemon.

  22. 22Add the chopped coriander into the yogurt bowl.
  23. 23Season to taste with salt and pepper.
  24. 24Mix thoroughly to ensure everything is evenly incorporated and check for acidity and seasoning.
  25. 25Slice half a red onion into thin strips for the wrap fillings.
  26. 26Place a large pan onto your stovetop and place this over a high heat.
  27. 27When the pan is hot, lightly coat it with spray oil.
  28. 28Add the marinated chicken to the pan and spread it out so it's not stuck together.
  29. 29Let the chicken sit for about 1 to 1.5 minutes to build a crust, then start mixing it through.
  30. 30Repeat the process of letting the chicken sit to build color and mixing, for a total of 5 to 6 minutes, or until cooked through.
  31. 31Take one high-protein wrap and spread 40g (1.4oz) of the prepared Raita sauce on it.
  32. 32Place 200g (7.05oz) of the cooked Tandoori chicken over the Raita sauce.
  33. 33Top the chicken with a portion of the sliced red onion.
  34. 34Add some fresh coriander (cilantro) on top of the onion.
  35. 35Add a little bit more Raita sauce over the coriander.
  36. 36Finish the wrap with one baby romaine lettuce leaf.
  37. 37Fold the sides of the wrap inwards, then roll it tightly from the bottom, tucking it in as best as possible to secure the fillings.
  38. 38Wrap the assembled Tandoori chicken wrap in foil, food-safe paper, or store in an airtight container or Ziploc bag.
  39. 39Slice the wrap in half and serve.

Tips

  • To prevent the Raita sauce from being soggy or watery, squeeze out as much moisture as possible from the grated cucumber.
  • When cooking the chicken, let it sit for about a minute to a minute and a half to build a crust before mixing it through. Repeat this to build color and prevent overcooking.
  • For assembling, place the Raita down first, then the Tandoori chicken, followed by red onion, coriander, and finally a lettuce leaf.
  • When wrapping, fold the sides in and then roll it over, tucking it in as best as possible. Store it on the seam.
  • For storing fully assembled wraps, place them in the fridge for up to 4 days.
  • If freezing, only freeze the cooked Tandoori chicken and allow it to thaw overnight before reheating or eating cold, to avoid soggy wraps.
