Chatni Chicken Roll Paratha

These Rolls were too yummy, got the compliment that they taste exactly like market Roll Paratha.

I think the main ingredients that created magic was green chatni that was used inside the roll and can be served along with roll for extra chatkhara.

This will make 10 Rolls

Marinate Chicken for at least 2 hours.
1/2 kg boneless chicken
Salt as per taste & Black pepper 1 tea spoon
Crushed red chillies 1 tea spoon
Dry roasted & crushed cumin seeds 1 tsp
Ginger Y Garlic paste 1 tea spoon each
Yogurt 3 to 4 table spoon
Lemon juice 4 table spoon
Oil 1 tbs & Soya sauce 1tsp

Mix all ingredients well, cover & keep in fridge for 2 hours. Then put it in any pan, cover and cook on low flame till chicken is done & water released by chicken dries out completely. Give coal smoke for BBQ smell.

For Chatni:
In blender add
1/4 kg yogurt
15 to 20 mint leaves
½ bench green coriander leaves
1/2 tea spoon crushed red pepper flakes
1/2 tea spoon salt
3 to 4 table spoon Imlee paste
1 tea spoon dry roasted crushed cumin seeds
2 green chilli (be careful add 1 first if required than other one)
2 to 3 garlic cloves.
Blend all these.


 For Paratha:
1- ½ cup wheat flour
1- ½ cup white flour
2 table spoon ghee (unmelted)
¾ tea spoon salt or as per taste
Make medium soft dough with luke warm water
Leave for ½ hour
Then make parathas.


Assembling:
Apply chatni on one side of paratha leaving small space around corners, then one side place chicken, top it with band gobi, layer of mayonnaise (optional), then drizzle some more chatni and then roll tightly to other side to give shape of roll paratha as shown in first picture.


Serve with chatni and enjoy :-)

Dish out and leave till they cool down. In case vegetables release some water then drain it.

Tips: 
Make sure your mixture is dry otherwise rolls will be soft and soggy. 
Also make sure that your vegetables are crunchy.

Take Roll Patti available in market and give shape. Use egg to seal the ends.
