FENUGREEK LEAF ROLLS

Rolls and wraps are fast food – they are unhealthy and packed with calories, cholesterol etc etc. But we can make it healthy, can’t we. I am making a very healthy quick roll/wrap with fenugreek leaves! Ain’t that interesting?

This is perfect for an evening snack or even the perfect wrap for your lunch box at work or for your kids.
