Kolkata’s popular street food, the Kathi Roll, is a tasty wrap made with spiced chicken kababs and sliced onions rolled inside a soft, flaky paratha. The chicken is marinated in a yoghurt-based mix, cooked with capsicum, and then wrapped in the warm flatbread. It’s full of spicy, tangy, and savoury flavours. A squeeze of lime adds a fresh touch. This classic from Bengali cuisine is part of India’s rich collection of regional recipes and is a great example of Indian street food.
