VEG KATHI ROLLS

VEG KATHI ROLLS

 

Kathi Rolls are usually a big hit  and is a  easy grab and go  food you can eat with no mess around.

It is similar to the middle eastern Shawarma or Subway Sandwich. Since it is rolled, there is no way the fillings are going to fallout and makes eating it easy.

Generally Kathi rolls are made from Maida (all purpose flour) bread.

But  when I decided to make this at home, I made it using wheat flour chapatis to make it healthier.

Lets see the ingredients and the method of  making it.

Ingredients:

Servings : 5 Kathi rolls

Chapatis : 5 nos.

For Raw salad:

Carrots ½ cup : cut into juliennes (long sticks)

Cabbage ½ cup : cut into juliennes (long sticks)

Onions ½ cup : thinly sliced

Beetroot ½ cup : cut into juliennes (long sticks)

Salt: ½ tsp

Cumin powder ½ tsp

For Green Chutney:

Coriander : ½ cup

Mint :1/4 cup

Green chilli : 2 nos.

Yoghurt : ½ cup

Salt: ¼ tsp

Cumin powder : ¼ tsp

For filling:

Paneer /Cottage cheese : 1 cup

Yoghurt: 2 tsp

Ginger garlic paste : 1 tsp

Salt: ½ tsp

Chilli powder:1/2 tsp

Garam masala : ½ tsp

Cumin powder: ¼ tsp

Corn flour ½ tsp (optional)

Turmeric ¼ tsp

Oil: for  shallow frying

 

Method:

Though the preparation method is easy, this has few elements to be made ready and all of them assembled together on the dining table as you start serving  the kathi rolls.

The first element to be made is the   paneer stuffing. We can use babycorn, cauliflower, broccoli all partially boiled too. For Non vegetarians, you can use chicken  or fish fillets.

Add all ingredients for the filling in a bowl and mix well. Marinate  in the refrigerator for minimum of half hour .

Then shallow fry the paneer pieces till golden brown  in a pan with very less oil.

If you are using Cauliflower or Brocolli you can  bake it too in the oven  till crisp.

Our Next element is the green chutney .

Add all ingredients   for the chutney except yoghurt  in  a blender, and give it a good grind in the blender. Add 2 tsp yoghurt and grind them further. Finally add rest of the yoghurt and mix all well.

The third element is the raw salad.

Mix all ingredients for the salad in a bowl and keep it ready.

Final and last element is the chapati. Knead the dough for the chapati and make ahead enough chapatis  and keep them in a casserole so that they remain soft till served.

Assembling the kathi roll:

1. Spread some green chutney on the chapatti.
2. Spread some paneer  pieces.See the below pictures fro cauliflower,Babycorn and fish  variations.
3. Spread some salad.
4. Sprinkle some  cumin powder and salt.
5. Roll the chapathi tightly and pack it using paper towel.

The kathi roll is ready to be served. Serve it with ketchup and green chutney.

Repeat the same steps  to make more kathi rolls.

Any leftover filling and salad  can be used  to make a tasty salad for the next meal. Also green chutney can be used as a spread for sandwiches and as a dressing for the salad.

Hence all leftovers used efficiently  and interestingly.
