Fish Kathi Roll is a popular street food item which uses flaky and soft fish and crunchy salad together in the form of a wrap. Kathi rolls originated from Kolkata, where kebabs were rolled into paratha to make it portable to eat. The Bengali passion for eating fish was responsible for giving this roll its fish version and now is perfectly paired with festival food.
This kathi roll recipe goes perfectly with the celebration of Durga Puja 2026 when people are busy going out pandal hopping during the cool autumn season. Roll is very handy as it can be eaten in one hand while enjoying everything else around.
Preparing it is not difficult and it suits for making it for just two people. The egg brushed chapati gives the dish a creamy feel, while carrots, cabbage and peppers provide crunch to it.
