Ranas Chicken Kathi Roll
- 1/3 cup vegetable oil
- 1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger, pressed to make a paste
- 1 tablespoon crushed garlic, pressed to make a paste
- 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cumin
- 2 teaspoons ground coriander
- 1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric
- 1/2 teaspoon garam masala
- 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs, cut into bite-size pieces
- 3 small green chiles, coarsely chopped
- 2 onions, finely diced
- 4 Roma tomatoes, diced
- Handful of cilantro leaves, finely chopped
- Salt to taste
- 2 eggs
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- Red pepper flakes
- 12 white or whole wheat flour tortillas or frozen roti
- 1/4 cup chopped cilantro leaves
- 2 limes
- Mint or cilantro chutney (available at most Indian grocery stores)
- To prepare the chicken, heat a wok or large, heavy saute pan for a few minutes over medium heat.
- Add the oil.
- Add the ginger and garlic and cook, stirring constantly, for 1 minute.
- Add the dry spices and cook, stirring constantly, until the oil begins to separate, 2 to 3 minutes.
- Add the chicken, cover the wok, and cook, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes.
- Add the green chiles, onions, and tomatoes and cook, uncovered, stirring constantly, for another 5 to 7 minutes, until the oil separates and the water evaporates from the chicken.
- Turn off the heat and add the cilantro.
- Season with salt to taste.
- Using a slotted spoon, transfer the mixture to a bowl and set aside.
- To prepare the wraps, beat the eggs with a fork in a small mixing bowl.
- Season with salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes.
- Heat a griddle or a nonstick pan (preferably the same size as the tortillas) over medium heat.
- Pour just enough of the beaten egg mixture into the pan to create a circle about the size of the tortilla, then immediately place a tortilla on top.
- Using a spatula, gently lift an edge of the tortilla; once you see that the egg has solidified on the underside and stuck to the tortilla, flip the tortilla to lightly brown the opposite side.
- Transfer the tortilla to a square of wax paper, spoon about 3 tablespoons of the chicken mixture on top, sprinkle on some of the cilantro, and add a generous squeeze of lime juice.
- Drizzle with a bit of chutney, then roll the kathi like a burrito in the wax paper.
- Repeat with the remaining tortillas.
- Serve.
