Samosa wraps with mango chutney

Makes 10–12 wraps

These are the best pre-prep wraps. They're super versatile and great for adding to your repertoire of pre-made lunches to take cycling, tramping, sailing, fishing, or anywhere really!

Although there is a little preparation involved in the first instance, refrigerate or freeze leftover wraps and you have lunch made for days.

Samosas—a traditional Indian street food—are usually baked or fried with a crispy pastry-type casing. Using wraps for this version takes away the fuss of making the pastry but still provides an excellent casing for the delicious, savoury, and spicy filling.

They are also an inexpensive lunch that can be made from predominantly cupboard ingredients and you can make as spicy or mild as you’d like.
