If you are wondering whether you'll be able to create the same mind-blowing roll as you get in Kolkata, rest assured that this recipe video on NDTV Food's YouTube channel will help you do it easily. This roll is prepared with spicy chicken tikkas wrapped in egg-coated wheat flour rotis. When it comes to preparing chicken-based dishes, it is important to marinate the meat to make it juicy and flavourful. In this recipe, chicken chunks are marinated in a curd paste suffused with mustard oil and spices like cumin powder, coriander powder, garam masala, turmeric powder, ginger-garlic paste, red chilli, salt and coriander leaves. The vast mix of spices infuses some eclectic flavours in the chicken pieces that are cooked later with onions and carrots.
You can serve this Bengali delicacy with chutney or tomato ketchup and have it any time when the craving for a light but hearty meal strikes.
