Now that I am over with today’s
fiction in my writing blog, I am now going to post here. So what do we have for
E?? I have been posting dessert recipes all this while, let me do something
else today.
Yesterday I had posted a Bengali
and Italian Fusion food recipe and today I am going to post on a typical Bengali
fast food recipe. Any one and every one in Calcutta loves the hot and lip
smacking rolls. They are like wraps but in a rustic way which is typical to
this place. You need a flat bread (or paratha) and you need fillings and you
are good to go.
You get a variety of rolls in
Calcutta and I am going to share a recipe of the most famous and indulgent one –
Egg Chicken Roll.
So let’s not waste any more time
in description and just start with our Egg chicken roll.
All that we need
For the Bread
1. All purpose flower – 2 and half
cup (if you want you can mix in little whole wheat flour as well)
2. Oil – 2 teaspoon
3. Salt – a pinch
4. Warm Water – to make the dough
5. Oil for frying the flat breads
you can use any oil – sunflower, ground nut or even olive oil
For the Filling
1. Whole Eggs – 6 (or the number of rolls you want to make)
2. Cooked Chicken – 2 cups - boneless
and shredded
3. Onion – 1 sliced
4. Cucumber – 1 chopped
5. Green Chillies – 2 chopped
6. Salt & pepper – to taste
7. Lemon – half
8. Tomato Ketchup & Chilli Sauce
– according to taste
Let’s get started
Dough for the breads
1. Mix flour salt and oil together
in a large bowl.
2. Add water and kneed to soft dough
(like how you would do for bread).
3. Divide in six to seven small
portions and make round balls.
4. Roll them flat into parathas.
Frying the parathas
1. Heat a flat griddle or ‘tawa’ on
high flame. When it’s hot enough add the flat breads/paratha one at a time.
2. Leave the paratha on the
griddle for 1 minutes for each side.
3. Add 1 tale spoon oil on the
griddle and fry the paratha on medium heat.
4. Break an egg in a bowl add
little salt to it and beat it.
5. Add I teaspoon oil on the
griddle and add the beaten add (how you would do for an omelet)
6. Quickly cover the egg with the
fried paratha (so that it sticks to the omelet).
7. Fry it for a minute or till
the egg is done and keep the paratha aside.
Repeat steps 2 – 7 for each of
the breads.
Now we’ll get into the filling. It’s
actually simple.
1. Take cooked chicken, shred them
and keep in a bowl. You can use leftover cooked chicken as well from roast or
curry.
2. Take the onion, cumumber, chilli
in a bowl and add salt pepper to taste.
So now you are going to do the
rolls in an order as if in an assembly line.
Arrange all these in a line on
your kitchen counter.
How to arrange the rolls
Take the paratha, put a line of
shredded chicken, salad, squeeze of lemon juice, a good dollop of ketchup and
roll it.
Wrap a tissue around – which will help to soak the excess oil (if any)
and it will be easy for you to hold and eat.
Repeat this for each of the rolls
and your hot and lip smacking egg chicken rolls are in your hands to enjoy!
See super simple indulgent fast
food.
