Instructions
In a large bowl, combine the plain yogurt, lemon juice, garam masala, ground cumin, ground coriander, turmeric powder, red chili powder, and salt to make the marinade.
Add the vegetarian chicken pieces to the marinade and mix well to coat evenly. Let it marinate for at least 20 minutes.
Heat olive oil in a non-stick pan over medium heat. Add the marinated vegetarian chicken pieces and cook for about 10-12 minutes or until they are cooked through and slightly charred. Stir occasionally.
Warm the whole wheat wraps in a dry skillet for about a minute on each side or according to package instructions.
To assemble the wrap, place a few slices of cucumber, tomato, and red onion onto each warm wrap.
Add a portion of the cooked vegetarian chicken tikka pieces on top of the vegetables.
Drizzle with mint chutney and sprinkle with fresh chopped cilantro.
Fold the wrap over the filling and serve immediately, or wrap in foil for easy transportation if serving later.
