Wraps are easy to make, healthy, flavorful and endlessly customizable. I used mung sprouts for the filling. They are an all-natural plant-based protein that is low in calories, low in fat and high in fiber. Mung sprouts can be eaten raw but for these wraps, they need to be cooked until soft. Their slightly sweet and nutty texture take on the flavor of whatever sauce and seasoning is used.

In Indian households yogurt is often served plain or as raita to team with curries and stir-fries.

I love serving this dip with a fresh platter of crudités or fritters but you can dip pita, crackers or whatever your heart desires.
