Ingredients

  • 300g sweet potatoes, peeled and roughly cubed
  • 400g can peeled plum tomatoes
  • 400g can chickpeas, drained
  • ½ tsp dried chilli flakes
  • 2 tbsp mild curry paste
  • 100g baby spinach leaves
  • 2 tbsp chopped fresh coriander
  • 4 plain chapatis (Indian flatbreads)
  • 4 tbsp fat-free Greek yogurt

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Cook the sweet potatoes in a pan of boiling water for 10-12 minutes until tender.
  2. Step 2: Meanwhile, place the tomatoes, chickpeas, dried chilli flakes, and mild curry paste in another pan and simmer gently for about 5 minutes.
  3. Step 3: Preheat the grill. Drain the sweet potatoes and add them to the tomato mixture. Stir in the baby spinach and cook for a minute until just starting to wilt.
  4. Step 4: Stir in the chopped fresh coriander, season to taste, and keep the filling warm.
  5. Step 5: Sprinkle the chapatis with a little water and grill each side for 20-30 seconds.
  6. Step 6: Spoon the warm filling onto each chapati, top with a tablespoon of fat-free Greek yogurt, fold in half, and serve immediately.

Tips & Variations

  • For extra heat, increase the dried chilli flakes or add a few chopped fresh green chillies to the filling.
  • Try swapping the sweet potatoes for butternut squash or pumpkin for a slightly different flavor.
  • Use whole wheat chapatis for added fiber and a nuttier taste.
  • If you prefer a creamier filling, mix some cream cheese with the yogurt topping.

Storage

Store any leftover filling in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat gently in a pan or microwave before assembling the wraps. It’s best to prepare the chapatis fresh to maintain their softness and avoid sogginess when stored.

How to Serve
