Ingredients

Method

1. 1Prepare the Dough

   Mix maida, salt, sugar and 2 tbsp white oil. Gradually add water and knead for 8–10 minutes until smooth. Apply a little oil, cover with a damp cloth and rest for 30 minutes.

2. 2Make the Lachha Parathas

   Divide the dough into 5 equal portions. Lightly oil each portion and rest for 10 minutes. Roll each portion very thin, apply a little white oil and sprinkle dry flour. Fold accordion-style into a long ribbon, coil into a spiral and tuck the end underneath. Cover and rest for 10–15 minutes. Gently flatten and roll into 7–8 inch parathas. Cook on medium heat with a little oil until lightly golden on both sides. Do not make them crispy.

3. 3Marinate the Chicken

   Mix the chicken with ginger-garlic paste, curd, turmeric, Kashmiri chilli powder, coriander powder, cumin powder, garam masala, salt and 1 tbsp white oil. Marinate for 20–30 minutes.

4. 4Prepare the Chicken Filling

   Heat 2–3 tbsp oil in a pan. Fry 2 sliced onions for 2–3 minutes. Add capsicum and a little salt; cook for 1–2 minutes, then remove and set aside.

   In the same pan, cook the marinated chicken until fully cooked, the moisture evaporates, and the spices cling to the chicken. Return the onion and capsicum mixture to the pan and toss for 1–2 minutes. Keep the filling fairly dry and divide into 5 portions.

5. 5Prepare the Egg Parathas

   Beat one egg with a pinch of salt. Place a lightly cooked paratha on a hot tawa and spread the beaten egg over it. Cook until the egg is fully set, then carefully flip as needed.

6. 6Assemble the Rolls

   Place one portion of chicken filling along the centre of each egg paratha. Add sliced raw onion, green chilli, tomato sauce, green chilli sauce, a sprinkle of special roll masala and a squeeze of lemon juice.

7. 7Roll and Wrap

   Fold the sides slightly inward and roll tightly into a long cylinder. Align the roll with rectangular butter paper and roll the paratha and paper together firmly. Tuck the paper securely underneath the bottom end, leaving the top open.

   Serve hot and enjoy your homemade Kolkata-style Egg Chicken Roll!
