In a microwave safe container measure out the edamame & 1/4 cup of water, microwave for 3 minutes.
Transfer to a food processor or blender, add the whatevz salt & blitz smooth, or leave to have some texture. Set aside.
Check your chicken is completely cooked.The juices in the meat should run clear.
Fry the paratha, wrap or roti in a little oil.

On the paratha, wrap or roti place first a dollop of the Edamame Smash, then the drained carrots, chicken skewers and top with the Raita.
Add some finely sliced fresh chilli for a bit of a kick and lots of fresh roughly chopped coriander.
