Life is keeping me busy this week; I will try my best to come up with an enormously boring drown-out post in a couple of days. Meanwhile just to keep you entertained, here is our favorite Indian style ginger chicken wrap recipe complete with chutney yogurt and a truck load of vegetables :)

  7. Looks awesome, a refreshing wrap for a light dinner or lunch. I like the addition of the grilled veggies too! I do ahve a question, what is GREEN yoghurt that you have listed in the ingredients for the chutney mayo?
