Ingredients

paratha · egg · onion · chutney

The egg *kathi* roll is the Kolkata anda *paratha* roll: a *paratha* cooked with egg spread on top while it is still on the griddle, then rolled with onion and chutney. The signature is that egg and bread are cooked as one piece, the *paratha* griddled, beaten egg poured over it, and the two pressed together so the egg becomes a layer set into the flatbread rather than a separate omelette laid inside. The angle is that flake-and-egg union, which is what separates a proper *kathi* roll from a plain wrap with egg stuffed in.

The build is exact. A layered *paratha* is heated on the *tawa* until it begins to crisp and flake, beaten egg is poured across the hot surface, and the *paratha* is flipped onto the egg so it sets bonded to one face. Off the heat, sliced raw onion and a line of chutney are laid down the center, and the *paratha* is rolled tight and usually paper-wrapped for the hand. Good execution shows a *paratha* that stays flaky and structured under a thin, fully set egg sheet welded to it, sharp onion for contrast, and chutney spread the length of the roll. Sloppy execution means egg poured onto an underheated *paratha* so it slips off in a slab, an egg layer overcooked tough, a *paratha* gone limp and greasy so it cannot hold a roll, or chutney bunched at one end.

The egg *kathi* roll shifts by chutney and by additions to the egg or the wrap. Some stalls scatter chopped chili and onion onto the wet egg so they cook in, add chaat masala or lime, or layer in a second egg for heft. Building shredded chicken, *kebab*, or paneer into the same *paratha* makes it a filled *kathi* roll, a different preparation that deserves its own article rather than being crowded in here. The constant is egg cooked into a flaky *paratha* and rolled tight, and no chutney or seasoning rescues a roll whose egg never bonded or whose *paratha* collapsed.
