Instructions
To begin, take about 250 gms of boneless chicken thighs. You can use any kind of meat for this recipe, but red meat works best. Cut the chicken thighs into small pieces.
In a large bowl, marinate the chicken with curd, ginger garlic paste, salt, Kashmiri red chilli powder, cumin powder (jeera) and coriander powder (dhania). Mix well and leave aside to marinate for 1-2 hours.
In the meantime, make the dough for the rolls. Knead together all-purpose flour, wheat flour, oil, salt, and carom seeds (ajwain). Keep aside to rest for 15-20 minutes.
To make the stuffing, heat 2 tbsp of oil in a pan. Add the marinated chicken and saute. Add a bit of water if required. Cook the chicken until tender. Turn off the heat and allow it cool.
In a large bowl, take the cooked chicken. Add in the finely sliced onions, ginger juliennes, chopped coriander leaves, chopped green chillies, and mix.
Add the lemon juice, garam masala, and green coriander and mint chutney. Mix well and keep aside.
Divide the dough into 8 equal portions. Roll them out into thin rotis. Cook the rotis on a hot tawa or griddle. Add a bit of oil on both sides for the color. Remove and keep aside.
To assemble, place the rotis on a flat surface. Add a portion of the stuffing and roll them up.
Chicken Kathi Rolls are ready to serve. Serve them hot with tomato ketchup or chutney of your choice.
