A Kathi Rollis a street-food dish originating fromKolkata,West Bengal. In its original form, it is askewer-roastedkebabwrappedin aparathabread, although over the years many variants have evolved all of which now go under the generic name of Kathi Roll. Today, mostly any wrap containing a filling enfolded in an Indian flatbread (roti) is called a Kathi Roll. In native Bengali, the word Kathi roughly translates to "Stick", referring to how they were originally made. In Bengal, though, the delicacy is simply known as "Roll". Kathi Rolls normally contain coriander chutney, egg, and chicken, but the types may vary. Internationally, specifically in parts of Canada and the United States, Kathi Roll has become popularfast foodfound in Indian take-out restaurants.The Kathi Rollis said to have started its life in the Nizam Restaurant inKolkata, a popular eatery founded in 1932.Nizam enjoyed a virtual monopoly over this method of serving kababs for decades, but it eventually became commonplace in Kolkata and later spread elsewhere.Today, the Kathi Roll comes in a large number of varieties. Innovations tend to be in two areas—the fillings and the wrap. Common variants on the filling are egg, potato,paneer, mixed vegetables and curried chicken or mutton. More exotic versions may have different ingredient combinations, or fancy curries such asThai orSichuan. Source taken fromhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kati_roll
