Cooking steps
  1. 1

    Prepare the paratha dough by mixing all-purpose flour, 0.5 tsp salt, and 1 tbsp oil with enough water until soft; cover and rest for 20 minutes.

  2. 2

    Marinate chicken thighs with ginger-garlic paste, black pepper, 0.5 tsp salt, chaat masala, and red chili powder for 15 minutes.

  3. 3

    Heat 1 tbsp oil in a skillet over medium-high heat; cook marinated chicken, stirring often for 8–10 minutes until fully cooked and slightly browned. Let cool, then shred or chop finely.

  4. 4

    Divide rested dough into 4 balls. Roll each into thin rounds. Cook each paratha on a hot pan with light oil until golden on both sides, about 2–3 minutes per side.

  5. 5

    Beat one egg with a pinch of salt for each roll. Add 1 tsp oil to the pan, pour in the egg, immediately place a hot paratha on top, and cook until egg is just set. Flip once for even cooking.

  6. 6

    For assembling, layer shredded chicken, thin onion and tomato slices, chopped green chili, and dust lightly with chaat masala down the center of the egg side.

  7. 7

    Roll up tightly, wrap the bottom half in parchment for easy holding, and serve immediately while warm.

Personalized Q&A
Q. What's the key ingredient that makes Egg Roll Kolkata unique?
The defining ingredient is the combination of marinated chicken filling and freshly cooked flaky paratha wrapped with a thin layer of egg. This trio brings robust flavor, satisfying texture, and the signature street food appeal to the Kolkata egg roll.
Q. How do you control heat for perfect paratha and filling?
Use medium-high heat when cooking chicken to ensure it browns without drying out. For parathas, start with a hot pan to puff and brown the dough quickly but lower to medium so they cook through evenly. When adding the egg layer, keep the heat moderate to set the egg without burning.
Q. How can I prevent my Egg Roll Kolkata from getting soggy or falling apart?
Make sure parathas are cooked until crisp but still pliable, and let them cool just briefly before assembling. Layer the filling in the center and avoid overfilling. Wrap tightly while still warm and serve immediately for best texture.
Q. How many calories and how much protein does each egg roll contain?
Each serving of Egg Roll Kolkata provides approximately 375 kcal and 20g protein, making it a high-protein snack suitable for balanced eating. Carbohydrates are about 32g per serving, and fat is 18g, for a nourishing, energy-packed meal on-the-go.
