Kolkata Street Style Egg Chicken Roll Recipe by Shiuly Gaikwad
Kolkata, the cultural capital of India, is not just famous for its rich heritage and history, but also for its vibrant street food scene. One of the most beloved street foods in Kolkata is the Egg Chicken Roll, a delicious wrap that embodies the city’s culinary spirit. In this article, we’ll explore how to recreate this iconic dish from the comfort of your home, courtesy of Shiuly Gaikwad’s recipe.
Ingredients
For the Chicken Filling:
- 250 grams boneless chicken, cut into small pieces
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon ginger-garlic paste
- 1 tablespoon red chili powder
- 1 teaspoon turmeric powder
- 1 teaspoon garam masala
- Salt to taste
- 2 tablespoons oil
- Fresh coriander leaves, chopped (for garnish)
For the Egg Omelette:
- 2 large eggs
- Salt & pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon milk (optional for fluffiness)
- 1 tablespoon oil or butter
For the Paratha:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- Water (as needed)
- Salt to taste
- Oil (for rolling)
Additional Ingredients:
- Green chutney
- Tomato ketchup
- Sliced onions
- Sliced cucumbers
- Lemon wedges
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Paratha
Dough Preparation: In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and salt. Slowly add water and knead to form a smooth dough. Cover with a damp cloth and let it rest for at least 30 minutes.
- Roll the Parathas: After resting, divide the dough into equal portions. Roll each portion into a flat disc. Heat a tawa (griddle) and cook each paratha with a little oil until golden brown on both sides. Set aside.
Step 2: Make the Chicken Filling
Marination: In a bowl, combine the chicken pieces with ginger-garlic paste, red chili powder, turmeric, garam masala, and salt. Let it marinate for 15-20 minutes.
- Cooking the Chicken: Heat oil in a pan, add chopped onions, and sauté until translucent. Add the marinated chicken and cook until it’s fully cooked and tender, about 10-15 minutes. Garnish with fresh coriander leaves.
Step 3: Prepare the Egg Omelette
Beat the Eggs: In a bowl, beat the eggs with salt, pepper, and milk (if using).
- Cook the Omelette: Heat oil or butter in a pan. Pour in the beaten eggs, swirling the pan to evenly coat the bottom. Cook until set, then flip and cook the other side briefly.
Step 4: Assemble the Egg Chicken Roll
Layering: Take a paratha and spread a layer of green chutney on top. Place the chicken filling in the center and then top it with the egg omelette.
Adding Veggies: Add sliced onions and cucumbers for a fresh crunch. Drizzle a little tomato ketchup as per your taste.
- Rolling: Fold the sides of the paratha inward and roll it tightly. You can wrap it in parchment or foil to keep it intact.
