Egg Chicken Roll is wildly popular in Kolkata, India and has quite the reputation throughout the Indian subcontinent! People come from all over the nation to sample Kolkata’s egg chicken roll.

It is also called Kathi Roll. Literally roll means a wrap and kathi means the wooden skewer so it is a wrap that is made from meat that has been grilled on a skewer. That’s the literal meaning.

It’s essentially a chicken wrap made with grilled chicken, veggies, and some sauces so not only is it delicious, it’s very nutritious too, despite being considered a street food.

I sometimes have this for lunch or dinner, especially if I have leftover chicken tikka (bite-size grilled chicken Indian style). I have a recipe for the chicken tikka on Cookpad as well.
