Chicken Roll Recipe: Street-Style Delicious Wraps with Phoran Masala

Chicken Roll: The Ultimate Street Food Delight

Chicken Roll is one of India's most beloved street foods - a perfect combination of spiced chicken, fresh vegetables, and tangy sauces wrapped in soft roti or paratha. This handheld delight originated from Kolkata's street vendors and has now become a favorite across the country. Whether you call it Chicken Kathi Roll, Chicken Frankie, or simply Chicken Roll, this dish represents the perfect fusion of convenience and flavor that makes Indian street food so irresistible.

What Makes the Perfect Chicken Roll:

• Tender Chicken: Perfectly spiced and cooked to juicy perfection
• Soft Wraps: Fresh roti or paratha that holds everything together
• Fresh Vegetables: Crisp onions, cucumbers, and lettuce for crunch
• Tangy Sauces: Mint chutney and spicy sauces for flavor bursts
• Perfect Spicing: The right blend of masalas for authentic taste

Ingredients You'll Need:

For the Chicken Marinade:

• 500g boneless chicken, cut into strips
• 1/2 cup yogurt
• 1 tbsp ginger-garlic paste
• 2 tsp Premium Chicken Masala
• 1 tsp Premium Turmeric Powder
• 1 tsp Premium Kashmiri Red Chilli Powder
• 1/2 tsp Premium Garam Masala
• 1 tsp lemon juice
• Salt to taste
• 2 tbsp oil

For the Wraps:

• 6-8 rotis or parathas (store-bought or homemade)
• 2 tbsp butter or ghee
• 1 beaten egg (optional, for egg rolls)

For the Vegetables and Garnish:

• 2 large onions, thinly sliced
• 1 cucumber, julienned
• 2 tomatoes, sliced
• 1 cup lettuce leaves, shredded
• 2-3 green chilies, finely chopped
• Fresh coriander leaves
• Lemon wedges
• 1 tsp Phoran Chat Masala for sprinkling

For the Sauces:

• 1/2 cup mint chutney
• 1/4 cup tamarind chutney
• 2 tbsp mayonnaise (optional)
• 1 tbsp tomato ketchup
• 1 tsp chili sauce

Step-by-Step Preparation:

Step 1: Marinate the Chicken

In a bowl, mix yogurt, ginger-garlic paste, Premium Chicken Masala, turmeric, red chili powder, garam masala, lemon juice, and salt. Add chicken strips and marinate for at least 30 minutes (preferably 2 hours for best flavor).

Step 2: Cook the Chicken

Heat oil in a pan over medium-high heat. Add marinated chicken and cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until chicken is fully cooked and slightly charred. The chicken should be juicy inside with a beautiful golden-brown exterior.

Step 3: Prepare the Vegetables

Slice onions thinly and soak in cold water for 10 minutes to reduce sharpness. Julienne cucumbers, slice tomatoes, and shred lettuce. Keep all vegetables fresh and crisp.

Step 4: Prepare the Wraps

If using store-bought rotis, warm them on a tawa or pan. For egg rolls, beat an egg and spread it thinly on the roti while heating, creating a thin egg layer that sticks to the bread.

Step 5: Assemble the Rolls

Place a warm roti on a clean surface. Spread a thin layer of mint chutney and tamarind chutney. Add a portion of cooked chicken in the center. Top with sliced onions, cucumbers, tomatoes, and lettuce.

Step 6: Add Final Touches

Sprinkle Phoran Chat Masala over the vegetables for extra tang and flavor. Add chopped green chilies and fresh coriander leaves.

Step 7: Roll and Serve

Carefully roll the roti tightly, tucking in the sides to prevent spillage. Wrap in aluminum foil or parchment paper for easy handling. Serve immediately with lemon wedges and extra chutney.

Pro Tips for Perfect Chicken Rolls:

• Marination Time: Longer marination with Premium Chicken Masala ensures deeper flavors
• Chicken Texture: Don't overcook the chicken to maintain juiciness
• Wrap Temperature: Use warm rotis for better rolling and taste
