Veg Kathi Roll Recipe
Kathi roll is a very famous street food of India. They are spicy,tangy and very delicious. Nowadays, it is found everywhere but it originated in Kolkata. Kathi roll originally, were skewered kebabs wrapped in parathas/Indian flat bread with cutneys and sauces. It may also contain egg. Kathi word originated from the skewers which is called kathi or stick in Bengali. Nowadays, anything veggies, potato, paneer etc. wrapped in paratha is called kathi roll/frankie.
Although i have never been to Kolkata which i wish to visit,but during my college days in Delhi me and my friends used to go to an eatery “34 Chowringhee lane” which used to serve Kolkata style kathi rolls.They may not be equal to the rolls served in Kolkata but were amazing and i am yet to taste the original version once i visit Kolkata .This recipe is also inspired from the Kolkata style kathi roll but is purely vegetarian. I have used boiled veggies (you can use of your choice), paneer and soya granules mashed and mixed with spices stuffed into crispy lachha paratha.
