VEG KATHI ROLLS -HEALTHY AND FILLING VEGETABLES ROLLS MADE WITH INDIAN TORTILLAS-STREET FOOD OF CALCUTTA

I have heard a lot about Calcutta’s famous Egg rolls which is a very popular road side snack,every road and street have these egg roll stalls,so wanted to try a vegetarian version of these rolls,so I replaced eggs with dosa batter.

Traditionaly whipped egg is applied on the paratha and cooked and then a delicious and healthy salad of assorted vegetables is stuffed inside with a generous squeeze of lemon juice and pepper powder or chat masala and then tomato ketcup is drizzled over it and then rolled tightly and wrapped in a foil.

These rolls are very easy to prepare and are healthier then other fried snacks,you can also add some grilled paneer or vegetables tikkas inside it to make it more delicious and filling.
