A Kathi Roll is a type of street cuisine that originated in Kolkata, West Bengal. It is a skewer-roasted kebab wrapped in a paratha bread in its original form, but numerous varieties have emerged over the years, all of which now go by the general term of Kathi roll. Today, a Kathi roll is a wrap that contains a filling and is wrapped in an Indian flatbread (roti). In Bengal, however, the delicacy is simply referred to as “roll.” Kathi Rolls are often made with coriander chutney, egg, and chicken, although the exact ingredients vary. Kathi roll has become a popular fast food item at Indian take-out restaurants across the world, particularly in areas of Canada and the United States.
