South African style curried chicken wraps

I am so excited to be able to cook with Bulgarian yogurt again, being lactose intolerant its one of the things I missed most , now since the Woolworth's lactose free Bulgarian I can add smoothies, tzatziki, yogurt marinades and dips back into my diet. This is also right on time for all my triathlon training,  as I have learnt, dairy is a great post workout food for used for recovery. Dairy contains carbohydrates which aid the muscle glycogen recovery and repair the muscles with much needed amino acids especially necessary for people like me doing multi sports training and need quick recovery to do the next sport the following day or even the same day. 

My very South African wraps are made using our local Mrs Balls chutney, Malay curry spices and of course the yogurt pictured above. It is a healthier, lighter alternative to the traditional Salome which you get on the streets of Cape Town, a roti with a curry filling loaded with butter and oil.

Quick and easy to make they are low fat and dairy free but contain wheat, either buy wheat free wraps made of corn or just wrap the filling in lettuce leaves for a paleo friendly version / wheat free.
