Chicken Kathi Roll

A Chicken Kathi Roll is a popular Indian street food that consists of marinated and grilled chicken wrapped in a soft flatbread (paratha) along with various toppings and sauces.

Ingredients:

For the Chicken Marinade:

  • 500 grams boneless chicken (cut into small strips or cubes)
  • 2 tablespoons yogurt
  • 1 tablespoon ginger-garlic paste
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon red chili powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder
  • 1 teaspoon garam masala
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • Salt to taste

For the Paratha (Flatbread):

  • Store-bought or homemade parathas (you can also use chapatis or tortillas)

For the Toppings and Sauces:

  • Thinly sliced onions
  • Thinly sliced tomatoes
  • Shredded lettuce or cabbage
  • Chopped cucumber
  • Chopped coriander leaves
  • Green chutney (mint-coriander chutney)
  • Tamarind chutney or sweet and sour sauce
  • Chaat masala (optional, for added flavor)

INSTRUCTIONS:

Marinate the Chicken:

  • In a bowl, mix the yogurt, ginger-garlic paste, lemon juice, red chili powder, turmeric powder, garam masala, vegetable oil, and salt to form a smooth marinade.
  • Add the chicken pieces to the marinade and coat them well. Cover the bowl and let it marinate for at least 30 minutes to 1 hour (or even longer for more intense flavors) in the refrigerator.

Cook the Chicken:

  • Heat a grill pan or a regular non-stick pan over medium-high heat.
  • Once the pan is hot, add the marinated chicken pieces and cook until they are tender and cooked through, and you get a slightly charred texture on the edges. Stir occasionally to ensure even cooking. This usually takes about 8-10 minutes.
  • Remove the cooked chicken from the pan and keep it aside.

Prepare the Parathas:

  • If you are using store-bought parathas, follow the instructions on the package to cook them.
  • If you are using homemade parathas, roll out the dough into thin circles and cook them on a hot tawa (griddle) until both sides are golden brown. You can brush some oil or ghee on the paratha while cooking for added flavor.

Assemble the Kathi Rolls:

  • Take one paratha and place a portion of the cooked chicken on it, slightly towards one side.
  • Add some sliced onions, tomatoes, shredded lettuce or cabbage, chopped cucumber, and coriander leaves over the chicken.
  • Drizzle green chutney and tamarind chutney or sweet and sour sauce over the toppings.
  • Optionally, sprinkle some chaat masala on top for extra tanginess.

Roll and Serve:

  • Carefully roll the paratha from the side with the fillings, folding the edges to secure the stuffing.
  • Wrap the bottom half of the rolled paratha with a piece of parchment paper or aluminum foil to hold it together.
  • Your delicious Chicken Kathi Roll is ready to be served! You can serve it with additional chutney or yogurt on the side.

 

Enjoy your Chicken Kathi Roll, a perfect blend of flavorful chicken and refreshing toppings, all wrapped up in a soft paratha!
