Method
- 1
Heat the oil in a frying pan over a medium high heat. Fry the chicken for 6 minutes, turning, until browned and cooked through.
6 min - 2
Pour in your ready made korma base (see the base recipe) and the water. Simmer for 5 minutes until thick enough to hold on a spoon.
5 min - 3
Warm the flour tortillas (see the base recipe) one at a time in a dry pan for 20 seconds each side, then stack them in a clean tea towel.
0 min 40 s - 4
Spoon a line of chicken korma down the middle of each tortilla. Add cucumber, lettuce, coriander and a few of your ready made pickled red onions (see the base recipe).

Fold in the sides and roll up tightly. Cut in half and serve warm.
Tips
- Reduce the sauce well. A loose sauce makes the wrap leak and go soggy.
- The sharp pickled onions cut through the mild creaminess. Use plenty.
- Wrap tightly in baking paper for a lunchbox. Eat within a few hours or keep cold.
Storing and freezing
Keep the filling in the fridge for up to 2 days and assemble the wraps fresh. The filling reheats well until steaming hot.
Questions
Can I make these gluten free?
Yes. Use gluten free tortillas or the corn tortillas from the corn tortilla recipe, and keep the rest as written.
Can I use leftover roast chicken?
Yes. Use 400 g cooked chicken and simmer it with the sauce for 3 minutes.
Can I make a vegan version?
Yes. Use chickpeas or pressed tofu instead of chicken. The sauce, tortillas and pickled onions are all vegan.
