Kolkata Egg Roll Street Food Recipe:

Kati in Bengali means stick and refers to the bamboo (kati) skewers used for making kebabs for Chicken Kati Roll. Nowadays, Kathi Roll refers to any Indian flatbread rolled with stuffing of one’s choice. Chicken Kathi Roll and Egg Kathi Roll are the two popular variants of Kolkata style Kathi Roll.

How to make Kolkata Egg Roll Wrap:

• To make Bengali Dimer Wrap, firstly, keep the kati roll filling ingredients ready – slice onions, cucumber and capsicum; finely chop green chillies and coriander leaves. Set aside.

• Then take all-purpose flour in a bowl. Add oil and salt and knead into a smooth dough with a little water.
• Next divide the kati roll dough into equal portions  and roll out each portion.

• Heat a tava and place the rolled out paratha on it. Cook till brown spots appear on both sides.
• Add oil on top of the paratha and along the sides. Remove the cooked paratha and keep aside.

• Now break an egg in a mixing bowl, add salt and whisk well. Add 1 tsp of oil to the pan and pour the beaten egg and lightly swirl the pan.

• Place a pre-cooked Paratha on top of the egg mixture. Using a spatula, gently press the paratha onto the omelette.

• Cook for 1-2 minutes, flip the egg-coated paratha over and let the other side cook.

• Remove the Paratha coated with egg on one side and set aside.
• To assemble Kolkata Egg Kati Roll, place the cooked paratha egg side up on a plate.
• Place sliced onions, capsicum strips, sliced cucumber, chopped green chillies and fresh coriander leaves in the centre.

• Add some ketchup, lime juice and chaat masala to the paratha bread wrap with filling. Roll up the paratha.

• Serve Kolkata Egg Roll Wrap with yogurt mint chutney.

• Divide the dough into golf-sized balls and roll out into thin discs.

• After a couple of seconds, place a pre-cooked Roti on top of the egg and lightly press down with a spatula so that the Roti sticks to the omelette.
