Steps to make the recipe
1. Marinating the chicken
Cut the chicken pieces into small cubes and add in a mixing bowl. Then add hung curd, red chilli powder, garam masala powder, cumin powder, chat masala, salt and lemon juice. Pour some oil and mix everything nicely. Let them marinate for 20 minutes.
2. Dough making
Add flour in a mixing bowl with a small pinch of salt and some cooking oil. Slowly pour water and start to knead. Make a soft palpable dough without sticky. Grease some more oil and cover the dough. Keep it aside for 10 minutes to set.
3. Cooking the chicken.
If using an Oven then it would be pretty simple to cook the chicken. Preheat the oven to 240°C for about 15 minutes. And if using wooden sticks then soak them in water for 30 minutes. Line a baking tray with aluminum foil and then thread the chicken in either wooden sticks or iron shewers. Place the threaded Chicken on the tray and place it inside the oven. Bake them for 15 to 20 minutes or until crisp golden on both sides.
Otherwise you can cook the chicken on a pan or tawa. Heat a pan with some oil over medium heat flame. When it become hot lower the flame and remove excess marination from the chicken and place them on it. Cook the chicken for 2 minutes and then flip to another side. Cook them further 2 minutes and when become little charred flip to other side. Cook the chicken by flipping one side to another for about 8 minutes or till become dry and well done.
4. Cooking the paratha
Divide the dough into small equal size parts and roll them between the palm of hands to make round shape dough balls. Keep them aside for 7 to 8 minutes to set.
It is important to rest the dough balls to set when using all purpose flour (maida). Due to the elasticity property of all purpose flour, the dough ball won't roll freely as soon as making the dough balls. After the dough balls get set dust them with some flour and start to roll with a roller pin. Make a round shape circle of about 5 to 6 inch diameter.
Heat a tawa or pan and cook them over medium heat flame on both sides till become light golden brown. Apply butter or ghee on both sides while roasting them.
5. Making the fillings
I have cut the cooked chicken into slices. You can use them like as they are.
Heat some oil in a pan on medium heat flame and fry ginger garlic paste till the raw smell goes off. Add sliced onion and capsicum and saute for a minute.
Then add red chilli powder, garam masala powder and salt. Pour some water and cook the masala for one minute. Add the chicken and mix well with vegetables. Add some tomato ketchup and mix further. Finally add chopped coriander leaves with them and remove the fillings.
6. Coating the paratha with eggs
This step is only required if you want to make a egg chicken roll If not you can escape this step. Heat a tawa or pan with some oil on medium heat and place one paratha on it. When the paratha become hot, pour a whisked egg over it and spread around.
Then flip the paratha to another side and cook the egg completely.
Remove the paratha and repeat with the remaining paratha as well.
7. Assemble the roll
Take one egg coated paratha and spread 2 tablespoon fillings over one side.
Top the fillings with some fresh onion slices and sprinkle some chat masala. Now fold the paratha tightly and close.
Wrap with a paper and serve. Make more roll with rest of the paratha and Chicken fillings.
Rumali roti roll
Rumali roti roll is often served in restaurant as Kathi roll. It is easy to wrap the fillings inside a rumali roti compare to paratha. You can use the same chicken fillings to wrap inside a rumali roti. Basically at restaurants, chicken tikka is used to make the fillings.
