These wraps are super easy to make, and the flavors are amazing. Plus, it’s a fun way to repurpose your leftovers into a new and exciting meal!
Method
Start by preparing the ingredients. Heat up the leftover keema curry and rice until both are hot and ready to use. You want the filling to be piping hot so it stays warm in the wrap. Once the keema and rice are heated, set them aside for assembling.
Next, assemble the wrap. Take a large tortilla and place 3-4 scoops of the warm keema curry onto the center. Then, add 2-3 tablespoons of rice. For an added burst of freshness and flavor, sprinkle finely chopped fresh coriander and sliced green chilies on top. The coriander adds a refreshing note, while the green chilies bring just the right amount of heat.
Afterward, fold the wrap. Fold the tortilla over the filling as shown in the video or your preferred method, making sure the filling is securely wrapped inside. It’s important to keep it tightly sealed so it stays together during cooking.
Once the wrap is folded, brush it with butter. Lightly brush the outside of the wrap with melted butter. This helps to crisp up the tortilla in the air fryer, giving it a golden, delicious finish. It also adds a bit of richness and flavor to the wrap.
Now it’s time to cook in the air fryer. Preheat the air fryer to 180°C. Spray the air fryer basket with cooking oil to prevent sticking, and place the wrap in the basket with the folded side facing down. Set the air fryer timer for 2 minutes and cook until the wrap becomes crispy and golden brown. Halfway through the cooking process, it’s a good idea to check and flip the wrap if necessary to ensure even crisping.Finally, serve and enjoy! Once the air fryer cycle is complete, remove the wrap and serve immediately. The wrap will be hot, crispy, and packed with flavorful keema curry and rice.
