Best Kolkata Kati Roll in Sydney

“It was invented specifically so office workers could eat skewered kebab without cutlery — the egg-fried paratha wrapper is the whole innovation.”

Kolkata Kati Roll

What the real thing tastes like

Skewer-grilled marinated meat (originally to solve the problem of eating kebabs without utensils) is rolled inside a paratha that has egg cooked directly into its surface as it fries, creating a wrapper sturdy enough to hold juices without tearing — the egg-searing step is what distinguishes a kati roll wrapper from a plain paratha wrap.
