How to make

• To begin making the Chicken Tikka Kathi Roll Recipe we will first make the chicken tikka filling.

To make the Chicken Tikka Filling

• In a mixing bowl, combine the washed and cleaned chicken strips along with the yogurt, salt, turmeric powder, tandoori masala, and lemon juice. Allow it to sit for at least 30 minutes.
• Heat a pan with oil on medium flame, to this add the ginger, garlic and saute for 30 seconds, now add in the sliced onions and capsicum.
• Continue to cook for another 3-4 minutes.
• Now add the marinated chicken along with the marinade.
• Cover and cook for 5-7 minutes until the chicken tikka masala has cooked through.  We need our chicken tikka to be just about coated with the masala.
• Turn off the flame, and transfer to a bowl and set aside.

To make the tawa paratha

• To begin making the Tawa Paratha, in a large bowl combine the flour, salt, a tablespoon of oil and knead adding little water at a time to make a firm and smooth dough.
• Add one tablespoon of oil to coat the dough and knead again. Cover and set aside for 15 minutes.
• Knead once again and divide the dough into 4 portions. Preheat the iron skillet on medium heat.
• Roll the dough portions into balls and flatten them with the palm of your hand. Toss them on flour and roll them out into circles of approximately 8 inches in diameter.
• Continue the same process of rolling with the remaining dough portions.
• With skillet on medium-high heat, place one rolled out paratha on the skillet. After a few seconds flip on the other side
• At this point flip the plain paratha and add some oil. Cook until almost done.
• Now spread two tablespoons of the beaten egg on one side of the paratha and flip.
• Cook for about a minute till the egg is cooked. Remove from the tawa and place it on a plate.

To assemble the Chicken Tikka Kathi Roll

• Place the prepared chicken tikka masala filling on one side of the paratha, place pickled onions next to it and sprinkle some chaat masala.
• Fold like that of a roll and serve.
• Chicken Tikka Kathi Roll is ready to be served
