Kolkata Chicken Roll Recipe
Kolkata Chicken Roll Ingredients:
Kolkata Chicken Roll Recipe
- 3 tbsps vegetable/ canola/ sunflower cooking oil
- 1 tsp cumin seeds
- 1 large onion sliced thinly
- 1 tbsp garlic paste
- 1 tbsp ginger paste
- 1 tsp coriander powder
- 1 tsp cumin powder
- 1/2 tsp turmeric powder
- 1 tsp garam masala powder (see link below for recipe)
- 300 gms boneless, skinless chicken cut into 2″ cubes/ pieces
- 3 tomatoes chopped fine
- Salt to taste
- 6 Parathas (see link below for recipe to make these pan fried flabreads)
- 6 eggs
- 1/2 cup vegetable/ canola/ sunflower cooking oil
- 1/2 cup Mint-Coriander Chutney (see link below for recipe)
How to make Kolkata Chicken Roll:
- Heat the oil (3 tbsps) in a deep pan on medium heat. When hot, add the cumin seeds and fry for a minute.
- Add the sliced onions and fry till soft. Add garlic and ginger pastes and fry for 1 minute. Now add all spice powders (including garam masala) and fry until oil begins to separate from the masala (spice-onion mix).
- Add the chicken pieces and brown. Add the tomato and salt to taste. Stir well and add 1/2 cup of water. Cook till chicken is tender. There should be almost no gravy at this stage.
- 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 seconds and remove from the pan.
- To assemble the rolls: Lay one egg-paratha on a plate and spread Mint-Coriander Chutney on it. How much is a matter of personal choice. Now add roughly 2 tbsps of the cooked chicken in a line down the center of the paratha. Roll tightly. You can wrap in foil at this stage, to help keep the lot together and tidy for eating – the filling can fall out otherwise. Serve hot.
