Once i had been to Cheese cake factory and there we have ordered Chicken lettuce Wrap.
It was really yummy and i loved it .Next thing came into my mind is to try at home. Nevertheless its my hobby to try the new things at home, and to my surprise it came out really good.
Its quite innovative and delicious dish. I have done with chicken but the veg lovers can use tofu, paneer or the mix vegetables for the stuffing. The preparation method is the same for all the things whatever you cook.
