    Aloo Kathi Roll

    Aloo Kathi roll recipe - rolled paratha or wrap with green chutney, potato stuffing, veg salad mix. It also known as kati roll. However you spell it, they are irresistible. It is popular street food from Kolkata.

    2 aloo kathi rolls in a plate.

    I have used whole wheat flour to make paratha or wrap. I just wanted to make it healthy. But rolls available at street stalls or restaurants are made from all purpose flour.

    These kati rolls are good as a light meal. I wouldn’t make it as a snack. As it requires different elements and it is quite lengthy process. I usually make as a dinner. 2 or 3 rolls (depending on the size) is enough per person as a meal.

    The first time I tasted kathi roll was in New york city. You might know ‘Kati roll company’. yes they make the best ones and famous around here.

    After that I tried to make it at home. It is not similar to that. But the way it turned out, I am very satisfied. It is spicy and delicious, the way I and hubby like it. There are few different elements in making but very easy to make at home. Try this once, I am sure you will also like it.

    Traditional it is made with chunk of mutton or chicken. They are marinated in spices, arranged them on skewers and cooked (process is similar to Punjabi Paneer tikka). These cooked meat is wrapped or rolled into paratha along with sliced onions and sauce. In bengali language skewers are called as ‘kati’. Hence the name is kati roll.   

    But now a days, there are many variations, adaptations and innovations are taken. In vegetarian category, there are different varieties like paneer kathi roll, chana kathi roll, mixed veg kathi roll, aloo kathi roll.
