To make the wrap, you can use store-bought tortillas, wraps or homemade Roti, a flatbread which is a staple in many Indian homes.

Ingredients

• 4 4 chicken fillets

• 2 tbsp 2 Nando’s peri-peri sauce (choose the heat you can handle)

• 2 tbsp 2 mayonnaise

• 1 tbsp 1 masala

• salt

• minced ginger and garlic

• 50 ml 50 soy sauce

• mixed herbs

• lettuce

• For the rotis

• 2 cups 2 flour

• 30 ml 30 oil

• 1⁄2 tsp 1⁄2 salt

• 1 cup 1 boiled water

Method

• After the chicken has been defrosted, cut up in cubes and rinse.
• Add 1 tablespoon of masala. This may vary according to your taste but you do not want to overpower your peri-peri sauce. Add salt to taste.
• Add a few drops of soy sauce and half a teaspoon of ginger and garlic mix.
• Pour in about half a bottle of peri-peri sauce.
• Add about 2 tablespoons of mayonnaise.
• Cook on medium heat for about 15 minutes. Do not let the heat dry the sauce.
• Add lettuce and any other garnish you like to the wrap, you may want to add green peppers, tomatoes, grated cheese and other fillings. Place chicken in a line down the centre of the wrap and fold over into a tube.
• To make the Rotis:
• Sift flour and add salt.
• Mix a cup of boiled water with the oil.
• Pour water and oil into the flour to form a soft dough. You may add more water if you think it is necessary.
• Knead well to create a soft, lump free dough. It should not be sitcky.
• Separate the dough to form balls.
• Flatten each ball between your palms.
• Roll these out until flat and round. Make sure you add flour onto your rolling board to ensure the dough does not stick.
• Grease a non-stick pan with butter and when hot fry each roti for about a minute.
• This should make about 12 rotis.
