This looks really great! Only issue is that this receipe is not vegan, it's vegetarian. It can certainly be adapted for veganism, but I wouldn't call it vegan as-is (due to the yogurt and milk)
Thank you Ros for pointing out this issue. I made these ingredients as optional now for complete vegan recipe.

What a lovely looking wrap! The only reason I ever have leftovers is because I didn't have room to eat it the night before, so I usually stuff my leftover naan with scrambled eggs the next morning. The sauce that you used looks vibrantly delicious!
Give it a try with your leftover naans. I am sure you will love it.
