Kathi Roll

Kathi roll is an Indian street food dish hailing from Kolkata. It consists of skewered and roasted kebab meat that is wrapped in paratha flatbread. Some say that the dish was invented because the British didn’t want to eat kebabs with their hands, so an ingenious person at Nizam’s restaurant rolled the meat in a paratha.
Initially, kathi roll was prepared with eggs and chutney along with the meat. Typically, the cook will roll the dough on a tawa, crack an egg onto it, then add the fillings. Kathi roll is traditionally wrapped in paper and served piping hot. In the 1960s, the cooks at Nizam’s replaced the metal skewers with bamboo skewers, giving the dish its name, kathi roll, as kathi means stick in Bengali.
Nowadays, this tasty wrap can also be found in cities such as New York City and London.

The dough is kneaded until smooth and then rolled into small balls, which are flattened and rolled out into thin discs. These discs are deep-fried until they puff up and turn golden brown, resulting in light and fluffy puris.
For the vegetable curry (sabzi) that accompanies puris, there are various options. One common preparation is aloo sabzi, which features potatoes (aloo) cooked with onions, tomatoes, and spices such as cumin seeds, turmeric, coriander powder, and garam masala. The sabzi is cooked until the potatoes are tender and the flavors are well blended.
Other variations of sabzi that pair well with puris include chana masala (spiced chickpeas), matar paneer (peas and cottage cheese in a tomato-based gravy), or mixed vegetable curry.
Puri sabzi is typically served hot, with puris arranged on a plate alongside a generous serving of vegetable curry. It’s often accompanied by pickles, yogurt (raita), or mango chutney for added flavor.
