How to make it

Egg bhurji

The first step is to make the Indian scrambled eggs:

Step 1: Heat olive oil in a large pan, then add cumin seeds. Fry until they turn lightly brown and release their aroma. Step 2: Toss in garlic, onion, and pepper into the pan.

Cook on medium-high heat for roughly 5 minutes to coax out their natural sweetness. Step 3: Incorporate the tomatoes into the mixture and turn up the heat to high. Cook for roughly 5 minutes until the tomatoes break down and soften. Remember to stir occasionally to prevent them from sticking or burning in the pan.

Step 4: Sprinkle in the paprika, curry powder, coriander powder, green chilli, sea salt, and black pepper. Stir thoroughly to evenly coat the mixture. Step 5: Add the spinach or your choice of greens into the pan and cook for an extra minute, allowing them to wilt slightly. Step 6: Crack ten large-sized eggs into a separate bowl to avoid any accidental eggshells in the pan and ensure food safety.

Once ready, carefully add the eggs to the pan. Step 7: Set the heat to medium-high and continuously stir the eggs in a circular motion to create a consistent blend. Keep mixing until the eggs are thoroughly cooked and the mixture appears dry. Finally, top it off with fresh coriander.

Roti wrap

To assemble the roti wraps:

Step 1: Take a roti and lay it out.

Spread approximately a tablespoon of hummus evenly onto the roti. Step 2: Divide the scrambled egg mixture into four portions. Add one portion over the hummus layer. Step 3: Close the roti, enclosing the filling, and secure it by inserting a wooden knotted pick into the wrap to hold it together.

Repeat with the remaining three rotis.

Diabetes diet advice

For folks managing diabetes, this recipe offers a great balance. The high protein content in eggs and the fibre from roti and vegetables can help stabilize blood sugar levels. However, portion control is key; be mindful of the size of your wrap and consider the inclusion of a side salad to add nutrients without excess carbs.

Food safe storage

While these breakfast wraps are best savoured fresh, they’re also a time-saver when prepped ahead. Store the curried eggs separately in an airtight container.

When you’re ready, whip up a fresh batch of rotis and assemble these wraps. And guess what? They taste just as awesome when served cold, making them a perfect grab-and-go meal option!
