Egg Chicken Roll


This is one of the popular street foods found in the eastern part of India comprising of states like Bihar, Odisha and Kolkata. This is quite a favorite in my house, hubby’s favorite, less time consuming and of all very easy to make. I prefer to make this during weekends since it gives me ample time to spend with family.

Ingredients Required   (for the dough
 or outer shell)
Quantity
All Purpose Flour/ or Wheat flour *
1.5 cups
Oil
3 tbsp
Salt
1 tsp
Water
As needed





Ingredients Required   (for the filling)
Quantity
Chicken Boneless
(cut into small bite size pieces)
500 grams
Shan Tandoori Masala
2 tbsp
Yogurt
2 tbsp
Ginger Garlic paste
1.5 tbsp
Eggs
4
Big Onions (Thin sliced)
1
Green chillies (chopped very fine)
2
Tomato Ketchup
As per taste
Chaat Masala
As per taste
Salt
As per taste
Pepper
As per taste

*Note: Though all purpose flour tastes better for this recipe I personally prefer wheat flour. The choice is your’s which flour you want to use.

Method of Preparation:
  • To the boneless chicken add tandoori masala, yogurt, ginger garlic paste. Mix well and allow 2 hours to marinade.
  • After 2 hours, cook the marinated chicken on low flame in a wok by adding 2 tbsp oil. Keep stirring occasionally, add desired amount of salt and cook until the chicken is fully done. Keep it aside.
  • To make the dough, add salt, oil to all purpose flour and then add water in smaller quantities until a smooth soft dough is formed. Keep the dough covered for at least 15 minutes before one can start using.
  • Divide the dough into 4 equal parts. Roll the dough with a rolling pin like a chapatti however keep it slightly thick and not thin like chapatti.
  • Take non-stick tava and cook the above, one side should be cooked like paratha and the other side should be cooked however oil should not be added. While the same is cooking whisk one egg, add salt, pepper and pour the same on the non oily side so that the mixture sticks well. Then flip it so that it cooks well and the mixture sticks to the chapatti completely. Once done remove it and place the same on a flat base. (Use one egg at a time).
  • Place sliced onions, chicken pieces, sprinkle chaat masala, green chillies and tomato sauce to the above in the center (Egg side is facing you or up).
  • Now slowly roll the chapatti with all the stuffing inside. Cover the bottom half with a tissue paper.
  • Repeat the above steps for the remaining dough. Your rolls are now ready to be consumed. My friends simply devour this as we don’t get the same in US. It’s perfect for potluck ;especially for appetizers.
Enjoy!!!!
