Method

  1. Cook the chicken dippers and the rice to pack instructions.
  2. Meanwhile, heat the oil in a small saucepan over a medium heat, add the onion, chopped carrots, ginger, garlic and curry powder. Cover and cook for 5 mins, stirring occasionally until starting to soften, then add the stock, re-cover and simmer for 12-15 mins more, stirring occasionally until the carrots are tender. Blitz with a hand blender until smooth, then blend in the yogurt until uniform.
  3. Warm the wraps in the microwave on high for 20 secs to soften, then layer the rice, chicken, a drizzle of sauce, the grated carrots and spring onions down the middle of each wrap. Fold both ends of the wrap over the filling and roll to wrap tightly. Cut the burritos in half widthways and serve with the remaining sauce for dipping.
