The Chicken Roll is a street food favorite, bringing together flaky, buttery parottas, tender spiced chicken, and a kick of green chutney for an unbeatable bite. Inspired by Kolkata’s famous Kathi Rolls, this version leans into South Asian flavors with shredded curry chicken, tangy onions, and a quick pan-sear for extra crispiness. Whether you’re craving a late-night snack or a fast, flavorful meal, this Chicken Roll is the perfect handheld treat.
How to Make Chicken Roll
Think of this as the ultimate street food experience, right in your own kitchen. We start with flaky parottas—warmed until golden and crispy. Then, we slather on green chutney, loaded with herbs and heat. Next comes the star of the show: shredded curry-spiced chicken that’s juicy, flavorful, and ready to pack a punch. A handful of sliced onions adds crunch and zing, balancing the richness. Roll it all up, give it a quick sear for that signature street food crispiness, and boom—you’ve got a Chicken Roll that’s bursting with flavor and nostalgia.
