Cooking steps
  1. 1

    In a large bowl, combine yogurt, ginger garlic paste, garam masala, coriander, cumin, chili powder, salt, and lime juice. Add chicken thighs and marinate for at least 30 minutes for deep flavor.

  2. 2

    Heat 1 tbsp vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add marinated chicken and cook for 8–10 minutes, stirring often, until chicken is fully cooked and lightly charred. Set aside to cool slightly, then slice or shred.

  3. 3

    In the same pan, add 1 tbsp oil, sliced red onion, and green bell pepper. Sauté over medium heat for 3–4 minutes until softened but still crisp. Mix in the cooked chicken and chopped cilantro, tossing to combine well.

  4. 4

    Lightly beat eggs with a pinch of salt. Heat a clean skillet on medium and add one paratha. Quickly pour a quarter of the egg mixture on top and swirl. Cook for 1–2 minutes, then flip to set the egg layer beneath.

  5. 5

    Place some chicken filling on the egg side of each paratha. Roll tightly while hot, making sure seam side is down. Serve warm with extra lime wedges and wrap in parchment for mess-free eating.

Personalized Q&A
Q. What's the key ingredient in this Chicken Kathi Roll recipe?
The core ingredient is boneless skinless chicken thighs, which provide the juicy, flavorful element at the heart of every Kathi Roll. Marinated with yogurt and a blend of Indian spices, the chicken defines both the taste and the high protein character of the dish.
Q. How do I ensure the chicken filling stays moist and flavorful?
Marinating the chicken in yogurt and spices is crucial—this not only flavors the chicken deeply but also tenderizes it. Sauté the chicken over medium-high heat just until cooked; avoid overcooking to retain moisture. Adding sautéed onions and peppers further amplifies juiciness and texture.
Q. What helps keep my paratha crispy and prevents a soggy roll?
To keep your paratha flaky, cook it on medium heat until golden before adding egg. Don't overfill with filling and make sure any excess moisture from the chicken is cooked off before assembling. Rolling while the paratha is fresh from the pan helps lock in crispness.
