A lady ordered a Butter Chicken the other day. Unfortunately she ate it too quickly and felt poorly. But the staff in the restaurant were really nice. They let her lie down and gave her a Pilau to rest her head on.

Chicken Kathi Roll (Chicken Frankie)
A superb step-by-step guide to a delicious street snack.
Chicken Kathi roll or Chicken Frankie are the Indian version of a wrap and are an extremely popular street food in India. It’s finger-liking good!
Street food brings out the essence of the local culture. It holds a special place in the hearts of people who love the authentic food cooked by “chefs” from the streets. It has a certain touch that is beyond compare, to any fancy restaurants.
This is one of my favorite quick meals; delicious chicken prepared with onions, tomatoes, and peppers. Topped with eggs, tangy herb chutney & hot ‘n’ sweet ketchup and are wrapped in homemade chapati. I have been eating variations of this dish since my childhood, you can substitute the chicken for lamb, beef or even paneer or stir-fried chickpeas & vegetables.
Keeping this post short and sweet and straight on to the recipe! Please don’t be scared at the length of the recipe…
