Prep Time: 15 mins
Cook Time: -
Total Time: 15 mins
Cuisine: Indian
Serves: 2 wraps
Ingredients
- 2 large collard greens
- 1 cup shredded carrots
- 1 cup cucumber, julienned
- 1/2 cup red bell pepper, sliced
- 1/4 cup cilantro, chopped
- 1 tablespoon curry powder
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt to taste
Instructions
- Begin by gathering all your ingredients on a clean countertop. Ensure that your collard greens are fresh and free from any blemishes.
- Rinse the collard greens thoroughly under cold water to remove any dirt or impurities. Pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.
- Trim the thick stem from the bottom of each collard green leaf, making sure to leave the rest of the leaf intact. This will help in rolling the wrap more easily.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded carrots, julienned cucumber, sliced red bell pepper, and chopped cilantro. This mixture will serve as the filling for your wraps.
- Add the curry powder and olive oil to the vegetable mixture. Season with salt to taste. Toss everything together gently until the vegetables are evenly coated with the spices and oil.
- Take one collard green leaf and lay it flat on a clean surface. Place half of the vegetable mixture in the center of the leaf, leaving some space at the edges.
- Fold the sides of the collard green leaf over the filling, then roll it up from the bottom to the top, making sure to keep the filling secure inside the leaf. Repeat this process with the second collard green leaf and remaining filling.
- Once both wraps are rolled, you can slice them in half diagonally for easier handling, or serve them whole. Optionally, you can drizzle a little extra olive oil or a squeeze of lemon juice on top before serving.
- Enjoy your Raw Indian Spiced Wraps as a healthy snack or a light meal!

- Customize Your Fillings: Feel free to get creative! Add other vegetables like bell peppers or avocado, or include proteins like chickpeas or tofu for a heartier wrap.
- Perfecting the Roll: When rolling the collard greens, be gentle but firm. Ensure the filling is tightly secured to prevent any spillage.
- Add a Zing: For an extra burst of flavor, consider adding a squeeze of lemon juice or a sprinkle of your favorite hot sauce before serving.
