Summary

Easy preparation and a great variety of flavors, the Falafel and Shami Kebab variants from the Cornitos DIY kit range were delicious! The rating is for the Cornitos Shami kebab and Falafel DIY Kit. We do not recommend the Hara Bhara Kebab.

An unexpected guest, a hangry you, or a lazy evening- it’s best to stay prepared when these surprises strike. And a better, more filling alternative to frozen fries is something with a little bit of everything. Like a WRAP!

An amalgamation of kathis and burritos, there are paneer wraps, egg wraps, chicken wraps, veggie wraps, you name it. Quick yet filling, wraps make for the perfect on-the-go meals as no cutlery is really needed.

But best of all? Each bite is a party, a burst of collective flavors. However, pre-prepping the many elements of a wrap may be time-consuming. What must be done then? Enter: Cornitos DIY Kits. Known for their nachos, Cornitos has introduced a new product in three flavor variants. Team Mishry got their hands on these and here’s our Cornitos DIY Kits review. Let’s find out if they were easy to make and assemble.

Cornitos DIY Wrap Kits – Our Review Factors

cornitos diy kits review process — Here are the veggies we used in the wraps.

For our Cornitos DIY Wrap Kits review, we gauged them on the following parameters-

1. Taste

How do the kebabs taste? Do the salsa dips and seasonings enhance the flavor or do they completely overtake the taste of kebabs? Are the tortillas fresh tasting? How tasty is that collective bite of the wrap?

2. Ease of Making

Are the Cornitos DIY kits as simple to make and assemble as shown in the steps? Are they quick to make? Any additional ingredients needed? If yes, are they easily available in most home kitchens? How convenient is this product?

3. Product Outcome

Do the kebabs retain shape? Or do they break while cooking/frying? Are the tortillas able to hold the contents of the wrap? What about the salsa and seasoning quantities?

4. Price

Is the price justified or would it be a viable option to just order in?

cornitos diy kit inside packaging — All components of the wraps are individually packed.

For a smooth-flowing review, we started by preparing all the elements of the wrap. Following the serving suggestions shown, we julienned, diced, and chopped the required veggies.

The Kebabs

The kebab premix had to be kneaded and that’s what we hopped on to next. The premix turned into a dough almost effortlessly. We liked that! Additionally, the water to premix ratio that the brand suggested is spot-on! We did not have to make any adjustments to the recipe. These kebabs can be deep-fried, shallow fried, and air-fried too if you’re looking to cut on some extra calories. For our review, we shallow fried all three variants in olive oil.

The Tortilla Wrap

While the kebabs were cooking, we slightly grilled the tortilla wraps as mentioned. Since the tortilla wraps tie the entire meal together, they must not only look identical but also taste fresh. We checked the wraps for any foul smell/odor and fortunately, that wasn’t the case! Texture-wise, they felt soft and pliable.

cornitos diy kit salsa dip contents — The salsa dip looks rich and luscious.

The Salsa Dip

As we opened one of the two packs of the salsa dip, we noticed a luscious, rich-looking red-brown color. We could see bits of tomatoes that weren’t as chunky as homemade salsa. The aroma of this salsa dip backed the ‘all-natural ingredients used’ claim. Jalapenos added to the salsa dip bring well-balanced heat. It is not overpowering but also not too subtle. Overall, the dip tasted fresh, tangy, with balanced spiciness and heat. As compared to most store-bought salsa dips, this had balanced salt levels too! Thumbs up for that!

cornitos seasoning mix — The seasoning mix was a fine, aromatic powder.

The Seasoning

The seasoning was a deep shade of coral. A strong masaledar aroma and an intense chili kick best describe this seasoning.

How To Make The Perfect Wrap

Kebabs – 240 ml of lukewarm water must be added to the entire pack (120 g) of kebab premix. Knead this well until a soft dough-like consistency is achieved. Let this rest for around five minutes.
Once rested, shape the dough into 12 kebabs of 30 g each. The brand recommends adding two kebabs in each wrap.
You can deep fry/air fry the kebabs, based on preference.
We shallow fried them in vegetable oil.
Tortilla Wraps- Just before assembling the wrap, heat both sides for 15 seconds each.
Assembling The Wrap- Take the heated tortilla wrap and place veggies as preferred or as shown on the box, in the center.
Place two fried kebabs over the veggies. Add the salsa dip as per taste.
At this stage, you can add some mint-flavored mayonnaise and sweet onion over the kebabs (the mayo and sweet onion sauce does not come with this kit).
Finally, sprinkle some seasoning and roll the wrap before heating it again.
In a preheated griller, apply some olive oil and place the folded wrap.
Let the wrap cook well, and voila! Your freshly prepared wrap is ready!

1. Cornitos DIY Kit Falafel Wrap

Flavor- 4/5

Convenience- 4/5

Value For Money- 4/5

The falafel wrap was a hit! It tasted very homestyle and was quite commendable in terms of flavors and textures.

In the powdered form, we could see coriander and parsley bits with some cumin and sesame seeds. All-in-all, we observed multiple flavors come together beautifully in this Cornitos DIY wrap.

Inspired by the images on the box, we added some black olives, onions, red and yellow bell peppers with lettuce leaves under the falafels.
