Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Rajma Filling
- Soak the Rajma: Begin by soaking the rajma (kidney beans) in water for at least 6 hours or overnight. Drain and rinse the beans before cooking.
- Cook the Rajma: In a pressure cooker or pot, boil the soaked rajma until tender. This usually takes about 15-20 minutes in a pressure cooker, or 30-40 minutes in a regular pot. Once done, drain the water and set the beans aside.
- Sauté the Garlic: Heat a kadai (wok) and add oil. Once hot, sauté the finely chopped garlic for a few seconds until fragrant.
- Combine the Ingredients: Add the cooked rajma to the kadai, followed by the Veeba Pizza & Pasta Sauce and Veeba Eggless Mayonnaise. Stir everything together, mixing well to coat the beans with the sauces. Adjust the salt and other seasonings as per your taste.
- Cook the Filling: Let the rajma filling cook on high heat, stirring briskly, until it thickens into a cohesive, flavorful mixture. Once done, remove the pan from the heat and set the filling aside.
Step 2: Sauté the Bell Pepper
- Cook the Bell Pepper: In a separate pan, add a little oil and sauté the sliced red bell pepper on medium heat. Cook until the pepper softens and caramelizes slightly. Remove from the pan and set aside.
Step 3: Assemble the Wrap
- Prepare the Tortilla: Take the whole wheat flour tortillas or large rotis and warm them slightly in a dry pan for 1-2 minutes on each side.
- Spread the Carrot-Cucumber Spread: Spread 2 tablespoons of Veeba Carrot Cucumber Sandwich Spread evenly across the center of each tortilla.
- Add the Filling: On top of the spread, add 2 tablespoons of the prepared rajma filling in a line. Then, layer the sautéed bell peppers, sliced onions, and fresh mint leaves.
- Roll the Wrap: Gently fold in the sides of the tortilla and roll it up tightly to create a neat wrap. Ensure the wrap is tightly sealed so the contents don’t spill out.
Step 4: Serve
Serve the Rajma Wrap immediately for a warm snack, or pack it into a lunchbox. For a more filling meal, pair it with a refreshing Banana Almond & Prunes Smoothie. This wrap is perfect for after-school snacks or a nutritious lunch for kids.
Tips for the Perfect Rajma Wrap
- Soaking the Rajma: Soaking the rajma overnight ensures that it cooks quickly and evenly. If you forget to soak it, you can also use canned kidney beans for convenience.
- Customize the Fillings: You can add your favorite vegetables, like lettuce or cucumber, for extra crunch and freshness.
- Make Ahead: Prepare the rajma filling in advance and store it in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days, making it easier to assemble the wraps quickly.
