Chicken Kathi Roll

About this Recipe...

Chicken Kathi Roll, Chicken Frankie or Simply Chicken Roll, whatever you call it, but you can't deny the taste of this great indian street food, originated from the streets of Kolkata and now very famous and equally available in all over India. Spicy chicken cubes are wrapped in Paratha and coated with egg, green chutney and few spices.

I was inspired to make this tasty rolls at home. I always follow the way they make the rolls very quickly at the stalls. It is always very fascinating to watch them how quickly they are doing their job. Though I am unable to combine everything as quickly as them but I reached their level in taste wise.

Instead of adding green chutney in my rolls, I personally like to add tomato ketchup and DH loves green chutney in his rolls. So made two kinds of roll, my one is with ketchup and green chutney in his roll. You can do your variation and adjust the chutney and spices in this recipe but it tastes awesome always. I like it so much and can have it any time of the day, as breakfast, lunch, snacks or dinner. You can even serve it as an appetizer in parties, it's a great party food.
