Why We Love Wraps
Wraps are our weeknight heroes. They’re an ideal canvas for whatever you have on hand—leftover veggies, hummus, beans, rice, even fruits (yes, mango in wraps is a thing!). Plus, they’re super travel-friendly and lunchbox-approved. For families navigating allergies, the ability to fully customize your wrap fillings ensures safety without sacrificing flavor.
The Base: Ragi (Nachani) Wraps
At Grub Allergy, we’re big fans of using gluten-free ancient grains. Our ragi (nachani) wraps are made using finger millet flour and just a few simple ingredients. They’re nutrient-dense, naturally gluten-free, and have an earthy flavor that complements savory fillings.
To make the wraps:
1 cup ragi flour
Pinch of salt
Warm water, just enough to knead
1 tsp olive oil or avocado oil
Mix and knead to a soft dough. Roll out thin and cook on a flat pan for 30-45 seconds each side. Keep warm.
Vegan Wrap Filling Ideas (Meal Prep Friendly!)
Here’s where things get fun. Use any combination of the following:
1. Roasted Veggie Medley – Roast zucchini, bell peppers, onions, and sweet potatoes with olive oil, salt, and smoked paprika.
2. Creamy Chickpea Mash – Chickpeas mashed with vegan mayo, mustard, lemon juice, chopped celery, and black salt.
3. Fresh Salad Crunch – Lettuce, shredded cabbage, carrots, and cucumbers add the refreshing crunch you want in every bite.
4. Herby Hummus – Blend soaked chickpeas with tahini, garlic, lemon juice, and a touch of parsley. Use it as your creamy base.
5. Vegan Paneer Crumbles (Tofu) – Crumbled tofu sauteed with turmeric, cumin, and nutritional yeast makes a fantastic protein-packed option.
Assembly Tips
Lay your gluten-free nachani wrap flat, spread your hummus or chickpea mash, layer your veggies, and sprinkle in herbs or seeds (flax, sesame, or pumpkin for added crunch). Roll tight, slice in half, and you’re done!
Serving Ideas
Pair with a small bowl of vegan yogurt dip or coriander-mint chutney.
Pack it alongside roasted makhana or sweet potato chips.
Wrap them in parchment for mess-free lunchboxes.
