Curried pumpkin chickpea wraps

by Jacqueline Alwill

These scrumptious Curried Pumpkin Chickpea Wraps are a tribute to my mum’s favourites, curried eggs, with a twist. The sweetness of the pumpkin and creaminess of the chickpeas and yoghurt works beautifully with the spicy nature of the curry mix. A winning recipe for healthy light and delicious nourishing lunches.
