Add more or less of the Curry Powder and raisins to taste. I use left over chicken breast from a precooked Rotisserie Chicken purchased at the grocery store. If the chicken is hot, and not left over, let it cool in the fridge before using.
An altered version of E's Samosa Wraps from fatfreevegan.com. Great to make a big batch of to use as grab and go for lunch.
If you like your curry creamy, add 1 cup of low-fat yogurt during the last half hour of cooking. Great served over steamed rice.

A yummy, quick vegan dish!
As a main dish 1/2 of the recipe is a reasonable serving, however, if other foods such as salad, soup, rice, or bread is being served, you could probably make do with 1/4 to 1/5 of the recipe, you would need to adjust calorie levels though.
