We know that Kolkata is famous for roadside eateries and roll corners. There are varieties of rolls like egg roll, chicken roll, egg - chicken roll, chicken tikka roll, combination of the above mentioned ingredients, the list is endless, even vegetarian roll like paneer roll is available these days.

Egg-Chicken Roll originated in Kolkata (Calcutta) and is often known as the Calcutta Kati Roll where spicy & cooked chicken cubes are placed & wrapped in paratha. A perfect recipe to enjoy in a get-together of family & friends.Once upon a time when I am school /collage student that time this one was a very very favourite food.


Here is the recipe for Egg-chicken  roll. Hope you also enjoying with this easy recipe.

  2. Whip the yogurt & pour over the chicken cubes, add the chopped coriander leaves and mix well. Marinate for at least 30 minutes.
  3. Take a non-stick pan and melt butter. Take out the chicken cubes from the marinade and fry them till tender and cooked thoroughly. now keep a side.
  4. Same pan again heat the oil (3 tbsps)  on medium heat. When hot, add the cumin seeds and fry for a minute.Add the sliced onions(1/2),Capsicum with little bit salt,coriander powder & cumin powder and fry till soft. Keep a side. 
  5. Heat a frying pan on low heat and add a tablespoon of oil to it. While the oil is heating, break an egg in a bowl. Season with salt to taste and whisk the egg till fluffy. Pour onto the pan and spread by tilting the pan from side to side. Now quickly put a Paratha onto the still 'wet' egg and allow to cook. The egg will soon cook and 'set'. This is when you flip the egg-paratha over. Cook for 30/40 seconds and remove from the pan.

  6. Now Place the paratha (egg side up) on a serving plate and lay a portion of the cooked chicken pieces & fried onion-capsicum-broccoli in a straight line in the middle of the paratha.
  7. Now Place rested raw sliced onions, cucumber,chopped green chillies on the chicken cubes, add tomato sauce and sprinkle chat masala. Finally squeeze the lemon on the chicken cubes.Roll the parantha with the chicken stuffing firmly so that the chicken cubes do not fall.Wrap the roll in a tissue /wax paper and serve hot with tomato sauce / chilli sauce.
