Ingredients
Scale
For the Chicken Marinade:
- 300g (10.5 oz) chicken breast, diced
- 1 tbsp oil
- 2 tbsp Greek yogurt
- 1 tsp lemon juice
- ¾ – 1 tsp Kashmiri chili powder
- ¾ tsp garam masala
- 1 tsp kasuri methi (optional)
- ½ tsp salt
For the Parathas:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- ¾ cup whole wheat flour
- ½ tsp salt
- 2 tsp sugar (dissolved in ½ cup warm water, optional)
- 2 tbsp ghee or oil
- Water, as needed
For the Pickled Onions:
- 1 large red onion, thinly sliced
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- Salt, to taste
For Assembly:
- 3 large eggs
- Green chutney or preferred sauce
- Chaat masala, for sprinkling
- Oil or ghee, for cooking
Instructions
Marinate the Chicken:
- Mix all marinade ingredients in a bowl. Add chicken, coat well, and marinate for at least 30 minutes (up to 48 hours in the fridge).
Prepare the Paratha Dough:
- Combine flours, salt, sugar (if using), and ghee/oil. Add water gradually to knead a soft dough. Let it rest for 1 hour.
Pickle the Onions:
- Mix sliced onions with lemon juice and salt. Set aside.
Cook the Chicken:
- Heat a skillet over medium heat. Cook marinated chicken until fully cooked and slightly charred, about 8-10 minutes. Set aside.
Prepare the Parathas:
- Divide dough into portions and roll into balls. Roll each into a thin circle and cook on a skillet until golden brown, brushing with oil/ghee.
Cook the Eggs:
- Beat eggs with a pinch of salt. Pour some onto a skillet, place a cooked paratha on top, press gently, and cook for 1 minute per side.
Assemble the Kathi Rolls:
- Place egg-coated paratha on a plate, egg side up. Spread green chutney, add chicken, pickled onions, and sprinkle chaat masala. Roll tightly.
Notes
- Adjust spice levels to taste.
- Use paneer or mushrooms for a vegetarian option.
- Can use store-bought tortillas instead of parathas for a quicker version.
