Kati Rolls

Serves: 6 | Suitable for vegetarians 

Introduction

This recipe was inspired by the vibrant street food of Kolkata. They're great fun to make, with an omelette layer which sticks to the bread. Get a couple of different salads, fillings and chutneys and let people dive in and build their own personalised wraps. 

Ingredients 

 Serves 6 

4 eggs
Salt and pepper
1/4 tsp Ground Cumin
Oil

6 Chapatis

Your choice of filling 

Instructions 

  1. Prepare whatever main filling and garnishes you would like to use.
  2. Beat together the eggs in a bowl along with a pinch of salt and pepper and the ground cumin.
  3. Heat a small frying pan with a drizzle of oil. (It is easiest if the pan is around the same size as the breads you are using).
  4. When nice and hot, add a couple of large spoonfuls of the egg into the pan. Quickly move it around with a spatula so it covers an area about the same size as your breads.
  5. Leave to cook for about 30 seconds, until the egg is starting to set on the bottom, but is still nice and soft and uncooked on the top.
  6. Put your bread directly on top of the egg and gently press with a spatula so the bread and egg stick together.
  7. Leave for another 20–30 seconds and then flip the whole thing over and cook the other side of the bread for 30 seconds.
  8. When ready remove from the pan, so that it is egg side up. Add your desired filling and garnishes, roll up and scoff away!
  9. These can be cooked to order or, when the bread and egg are cooked, they can be stacked up and covered with foil until needed.

Recipe from

The Rafi's Spicebox Cookbook

In 2016, we released the Rafi’s Spicebox Cookbook with recipes all based on Indian flavours and concepts. Some of them have evolved from Rafi’s original recipes and others from our team's travel to India and beyond. This book was written to inspire you to cook the best food that you can. If we can encourage you to enjoy the whole process of cooking these dishes and sharing them with family or friends, our work is done. We’re very proud of these dishes, and hope to hear what you’ve done with them in your own kitchen!
