Veg kathi rolls -Healthy and filling vegetables rolls made with Indian tortillas-street food of Calcutta
Veg kathi roll- I have heard a lot about Calcutta’s famous Egg rolls which is a very popular road side snack, every road and street have these egg roll stalls. I wanted to try a vegetarian version of these rolls so replaced eggs with dosa batter.
Traditionally whipped egg is applied on the paratha and shallow fried on tawa and then a delicious and healthy salad of assorted vegetables is stuffed inside .Then a generous squeeze of lemon juice,pepper powder or chat masala and tomato ketcup is drizzled over it and then rolled tightly and wrapped in a foil.
These rolls are very easy to prepare and are healthier then other fried snacks,you can also add some grilled paneer or vegetables tikkas inside it to make it more delicious and filling.
