Cooking Instructions

  • STEP 1

    Prepare the Chickpea Masala: Open your Deep Indian Kitchen Chickpea Masala. Puncture the film 3 times. Microwave for 4 minutes on high. Let sit for 2 minutes. Remove the film, and pour into a bowl. Save the rice portion to eat on the side, or for later.

  • STEP 2

    Finish the Chickpea Filling: Heat ghee in a skillet over medium heat. Add cumin seeds and let them sizzle for a few seconds. Finely chop onions and add. Sauté until golden brown. Stir in garlic and ginger, cook for 30 seconds. Add the tomato. Cook until the tomatoes break down and oil begins to separate. Pour the vegetable mix into the chickpea masala, and mix thoroughly.

  • STEP 3

    Assemble the Lettuce Wraps: Spoon the chickpea filling into each lettuce wrap. Add toppings including mint chutney and red chili pickle. Garnish with extra fresh chopped cilantro, if desired.
