Wraps with chicken and curry sauce

Add oil to a large, shallow, hot pan and fry the ginger and spring onions until lightly browned. Transfer to a cereal bowl. Meanwhile, toss the chicken in the cornstarch until coated all over. Then fry it in the pan until crispy. Towards the end, add the pine nuts. Remove everything from the pan. Meanwhile, mix the curry sauce in the cereal bowl. Add the sour cream to the spring onions and ginger, then add the salt, pepper, powdered sugar, curry powder, and paprika, and mix well. Season to taste. Add the tortillas (I always use ready-made ones) to the pan one at a time and fry lightly on medium heat (about 1 minute on each side). As soon as the first one is out of the pan, start filling it straight away. Spread the curry sauce on the flatbread (there should be a wide stripe; don’t cover the sides, or it will all run out the side!), then add the chicken with the pine nuts and spread about 1 teaspoon of mango chutney on top. Place the washed arugula next to it. Fold the two sides of the flatbread where the filling is slightly over so that no food runs out the bottom later, then turn it a quarter turn and roll it tightly. In this time, the next flatbread should be just about ready, and that one too can be filled. If you like, you can cut the wrap in half (looks a bit nicer, but you have less in your hand). It tastes best when eaten straight away, but it’s still great cold! It can also be reheated, but remember the arugula, which doesn’t like it that way!
