Checked against the ingredient list for ten allergens: milk, egg, fish, crustaceans, tree nuts, peanuts, sesame, mustard, soy and gluten. Brands vary, so read the label on anything new to you.

Before you start

  • The egg is cooked onto the paratha, not scrambled into the filling. That layer is what holds the roll together.
  • Raw onion and lemon at the end are not a garnish. Without them the roll is heavy.

Method

  1. Make a soft maida dough with a little oil and water, and rest it 30 minutes.
  2. Marinate the paneer in yogurt, ginger, garlic, chilli powder and salt for 20 minutes, then sear it hard with the capsicum.
  3. Roll the dough into thin parathas and cook on a tawa with a little oil until just done.
  4. Beat an egg with salt, pour it onto the tawa and lay the cooked paratha on top, pressing so it sticks. Flip after a minute.Paratha onto egg, not egg onto paratha. It bonds cleanly that way.
  5. Lay the filling along one edge, add raw onion, lemon juice, chaat masala and green chilli.
  6. Roll tight, wrap the base in paper, and eat standing up.

Safe temperatures: Egg dishes are done at 71°C / 160°F; a whole egg when the yolk and white are both firm. Reheat leftovers to 74°C / 165°F. FoodSafety.gov

Storage

Eat immediately. The parathas keep a day and the filling two, but a rolled kathi roll goes soft within minutes.
