ALOO KATHI ROLL RECIPE | KATHI ROLL RECIPE (WITH VIDEO)

   
I had kathi roll only once in bombay cafe. It was paneer kathi roll. It wasnt that good, in-fact I cant even finish it. It was so bland. But I like the way Kathi roll is rolled and the way we can hold and eat it. Being here in Singapore, I had no chance to taste kathi roll anywhere else. I think I should try tasting all the kathi rolls in Chennai when I visit next time. But when I tried this aloo kathi roll when I took inspiration from facebook pictures someone shared from a shop, I really loved it. So simple yet filling and mainly tasty! So thought I should post it. It is very easy and simple, you can pack this in lunch box for yourself or your kids. You can also make as a snack when they come hungry in the evening back from school.

Kathi roll recipe

Recipe Cuisine: Indian  |  Recipe Category: Snack
Prep Time: 20 mins    |  Cook time: 25 mins    |  Makes: 9

Ingredients

Atta (wheat flour)	1 cup
Dhaniya powder	1 tsp
Red chilli powder	1 tsp
Chaat masala	1/2 tsp
Jeera	1 tsp
Potato	3
Cheese, grated	1/4 cup
Onion	1
Tomato ketchup	3 tblsp
Green chutney	2 tblsp
Coriander leaves (optional)	As needed
Oil/ Ghee	As needed
Salt	As needed

Method

1. Boil / pressure cook potatoes for 3 whistles, until done. Heat kadai with oil and splutter jeera. Add the cooked, peeled and roughly cubed potatoes. Add coriander seeds powder (dhaniya powder),chat masala, red chilli powder and salt. Mix well and fry for 2 minutes. Keep aside.

2. Prepare the dough as we do for roti and keep aside for 20 mins. Then knead again,and divide into 9 or 10 equal sized balls,roll it out to roti, slightly thick. Toast both sides carefully in tawa without browning it too much. Prepare all the roti and keep aside.
   
3. Chop onion roughly and gather all the things needed for the kathi roll. Take one roti, spread a tsp of green chutney first. Let it be slightly towards the bottom of the roti.
4. Then the prepared aloo curry, cheese, ketchup on top of it.

5. Then lastly chopped onion. If you dont have green chutney, you can omit and add some chopped coriander leaves over the onions. You can just roll and pack with foil like this as such. Or do a pack roll as in the next steps.

6. First fold the sides as shown in the picture. The fold it from the bottom to cover the stuffing and roll.(Refer video)

7. You can sprinkle a little bit cheese towards the end so that it can hold the roll. Toast with ghee it if needed.

Notes

• You can make the dough with maida or half maida half wheat flour.
• Skip cheese if you do not want.
• If your rotis are thin, then it may tear, so roll slightly thick, so that it will be filling for your also .
• The size of the roll is purely your choice. Aj always likes it small. 
• The aloo curry can be a left over curry too if making and consuming immediately.

Enjoy the big bite - filling and tasty! I am totally in love with this kathi roll these days!

And here is the video how I rolled. I am also no expert, but thought might help to get an idea:) Excuse the video quality.
