Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Chicken Tikka Filling

1. In a mixing bowl, combine the washed and cleaned chicken strips with hung curd, salt, turmeric powder, tandoori masala, and lemon juice. Mix well and allow the chicken to marinate for at least 30 minutes to infuse the flavors.

2. Heat a pan over medium flame and add a drizzle of sunflower oil. Once the oil is hot, add the finely chopped ginger and garlic, sautéing them for about 30 seconds until fragrant.

3. Next, add the sliced onions and green bell peppers to the pan, cooking them for 3-4 minutes until they soften slightly.

4. Add the marinated chicken along with the marinade to the pan. Cover and cook for 5-7 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and the flavors meld together. Ensure the chicken tikka is well-coated with the masala.

5. Once cooked, turn off the flame and transfer the chicken tikka filling to a bowl. Set aside to cool slightly.

Step 2: Make the Tawa Paratha

1. In a large bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, a pinch of salt, and 1 tablespoon of sunflower oil. Gradually add water while kneading to form a firm and smooth dough.

2. Once the dough is kneaded, coat it with another tablespoon of oil and knead it again. Cover the dough with a clean cloth and let it rest for 15 minutes.

3. After resting, knead the dough once more and divide it into 4 equal portions.

4. Preheat a skillet or tawa over medium heat. Roll each dough portion into a ball and flatten it slightly with your palm. Lightly dust with flour and roll out each ball into circles approximately 8 inches in diameter.

5. Place the rolled-out paratha on the preheated skillet. Cook for a few seconds until bubbles form, then flip it over.

6. Add a little sunflower oil to the skillet and continue cooking until the paratha is nearly done.

7. Spread 2 tablespoons of beaten egg on one side of the paratha, flip it again, and cook for about 1 minute until the egg is fully cooked. Remove the paratha from the skillet and place it on a plate.

Step 3: Assemble the Chicken Kathi Roll

1. To assemble the Chicken Kathi Roll, take one paratha and place a generous portion of the chicken tikka filling on one side.

2. Add some pickled onions next to the chicken, and sprinkle a dash of chaat masala for extra flavor.

3. Fold the paratha over the filling like a wrap, ensuring it’s tightly rolled to keep the filling secure.

4. Repeat the process for the remaining parathas and filling.
