Kathi roll recipe with step by step photos. Kathi roll is a very popular street food where a flat bread is stuffed with meat or mixed veg or potato filling, topped with some raw onions and rolled before serving.

Kathi roll hailing from Kolkata is essentially a wrap made of wheat/all purpose flour with any kind of stuffing in it.I have had this many a times in my office cafeteria and liked it.Few days back I saw a picture of this with simple kathi roll recipe in a magazine and tried it out with my sister,where she took care of stuffing and wrapping :). I just took the recipe as outline and changed the filling to suit our taste completely.This will for sure be a hit when packed along with a salad for kids lunch.The only time consuming part in this recipe is stuffing and rolling,else it is such a simple recipe where you can use left over chapathi/paratha dough and any subzi along with some spicy chutney.You can be totally creative and play with ingredients and different kathi rolls.

To make kathi roll recipe here I have used few paneer cubes along with vegetables. Tomato ketchup add a nice sweetish tangy twist to this kathi roll recipe and I just love to have this kathi roll topped with loads of raw onions. Usually green chutney is used as spread but here I have used left over tomato chutney as we love tomato chutney more than green chutney, if you are looking for street style kathi roll do add green chutney.

For wrapping you can use any kind of flatbread you have in hand, traditionally maida wrap is used, but I always make kathi roll with phulka, you can use paratha, tortilla too for kathi roll recipe.

Vegans can leave out paneer or substitute with tofu cubes
