Curried Lentil and Sweet Potato Wrap

A hearty and flavorful wrap that's perfect for lunch or dinner. The lentils are simmered in a fragrant curry sauce and the sweet potatoes add a touch of sweetness and texture. This wrap is easy to make and can be customized to your liking.

This recipe was inspired by a trip to India, where I had the pleasure of trying a variety of curries. I was particularly impressed by the simplicity of the lentil curry, which was made with just a few spices and vegetables. I decided to recreate the dish at home, and the result was this delicious and satisfying wrap.
