EASY PANEER FRANKIE ROLL | PANEER KATHI ROLLS

From the cultural capital of India, Kolkata comes a popular street food – Kathi/kati rolls. Kati rolls have said to be originated back in 1932 from a famous Nizam restaurant in Kolkata/Calcutta. 

Traditionally, kati rolls are served with kebab rolled up in layered paratha that are coated with egg and it makes a perfect meal. But today I bring you my version of kathi rolls which is equally healthy and yummy.

The Kathi Roll is one of India’s most popular grab and go street foods. The word Kathi or Kati means stick. Traditionally, the kebab meats were cooked on metal or wooden skewers and hence the word kathi.
