My all time favourite chicken roll be as a snack or dinner or lunch ! I so clearly remember when we use to indulge into these street foods during our college days. Whenever we go to the market it has to be our evening snack. I liked it having from those street side stalls only and never ever tried to make it at home. After we shifted to Bombay from Kolkata I could not find the type of roll I use to have in Assam or in Delhi/Kolkata. Only thing I got to eat is Frankie everywhere with lots of masala inside and very oily & juicy, which was not my kind of a roll. Two and half years spent and I hardly had this Frankie for twice or thrice. This year's monsoon started and I craved for my yummy chicken roll. Did not think of going anywhere to search for it and decided to make it at home. And I nailed it at the first attempt..exactly the way I like it. Now my girl wants it in her tiffin once in a week at least. PB too loves it this way only ..lot of chicken & vegetables , less oil, minimum masala and not at all juicy.
Enjoy this hot crisp chicken roll with your evening hot cup of tea or coffee.
Ingredients:
Flour/Maida: 2 cups
Chicken (boneless): 1 cup cooked (I pressure cooked with two whistles and sliced them)
Vegetables: 1/3 cup (I used capsicum, carrot, cabbage - julienned)
Onion: 1 large sized thinly sliced (divide the sliced onion into two portions)
Green chilli: add as per your taste - I didn't use
Coriander powder: 1/2 tsp
Red chilli powder: a pinch or two
Tomato ketchup as much as you require to spread over the roti
Lime juice 1 tbsp
Oil "
Chat masala for garnishing
Finely chopped coriander leaves for garnishing
Luke warm water to make the dough
Method:
Make a soft dough with flour, salt, 1 tsp refined oil and required quantity of water. Keep it covered to rest for about 10 minutes or so.
In a pan heat 1 tbsp oil and stir fry one part of onion and vegetables. Add salt, coriander powder & chilli powder and cook in high flame for about a minute or so. Now add the chicken and mix everything well and fry till the chicken pieces gets a brownish colour. Remove from flame.
Make equal medium sized balls from the dough. Roll each ball to flat round (roti) with the rolling pin.
Heat a tawa/griddle, add little bit of oil and cook the roti. Once you are done with making the rotis, take one by one and spread tomato ketchup/chilli sauce or any green chutney of your choice on one side of the roti. Now place the veggie and chicken mix in one corner of the roti and sprinkle some chat masala, lime juice, coriander leaves & sliced onion (which we had kept aside in the beginning) and roll the roti. Take a sheet of aluminium foil to cover the roll from one end. You can use toothpick also and insert it through the roll for binding it. Repeat the same with all the rotis.
Now serve this yummy chicken roll hot and enjoy with your favourite hot cuppa.
