Chicken kathi roll is a variety of kathi roll prepared with chicken as the key ingredient. It's a typical street food originating from Kolkata, consisting of flatbreads such as roti or paratha that are filled with marinated and sautéed chicken pieces.

Each flatbread is first lined with an egg that's cracked on top of it before it's spread and cooked. The chicken is marinated in spices such as turmeric, chili powder, cumin, coriander, lemon juice, salt, and mustard oil. Once prepared, the stuffing is mixed with sliced onions, cucumbers, grated carrots, hot chili peppers, and coriander.

Sauces such as tomato sauce and green chili sauce are also added to the mix, which is wrapped with a flatbread and served hot. If desired, serve chicken kathi rolls with a green chutney on the side. There is also a very similar variety of kathi roll called chicken kathi roll with egg, and the name speaks for itself.
