Pizza Kati rolls

Ahh, Kati rolls. Reminds me about my college days when I used to sneak away with my sister to get kati rolls from the vendor outside the big retail store. Kati rolls are said to have originated in Kolatta, where Kati kebabas were enclosed in a paratha. In India, Kati roll is a popular street food available at any mall and street corner. It usually comes with different fillings topped with cheese, marinated green chilies and spicy sauces.

Pizza Kati rolls
I made these Kati rolls using toppings from leftover pizza party at my house and its is like biting into a wrapped pizza! These wraps are easy to put together as u have the pizza sauce ready and vegetables sliced and chopped. They are perfect for a lunchbox meal at work, or an afternoon snack. You can even make a meal out of them by serving with a side of soup or salad.

The recipe is only a guide , please adjust the seasoning and ingredients to your liking.

Ingredients:

Left over pizza sauce - tomato, alfredo, pesto and sauce you might have.
Wraps - Rotis, Parathas
Left over Vegetable toppings
 - sliced mushrooms
 - sliced onions
 - green peppers
 - jalapeƱos
 - grated chesse
 - cubed paneer
Olive Oil
Soy Sauce
Hot sauce
Cilantro a handful - chopped finely
Chaat Masala

For the filling:

* In a pan add a tsp of olive oil and add all the vegetables and paneer. Cook on high for 3-4 mins. Add soy sauce and hot sauce and stir for another 2-3 mins.
* Switch off the stove and take the pan off the flame.

Assembly station:

* Create an assembly station by keeping a large chopping board on the table and arranging the  filling, sauce, Chopped cilantro and chaat masala around it.
* If you are using frozen parathas or rotis, it will be a good idea to cook them now and keep them ready.

* Cut a small rectangular piece of wax paper and place it on the chopping board and place the cooked roti/paratha on it.

* Spread a spoonful of the pizza sauce on the roti and spread the filling in the centre.

*Top it off with chopped cilantro , cheese and a dash of chaat masala.

* Fold 1/4 of the roti from the end toward you to the top, in such a way so to secure the filling from dropping out from below.

* Now gently fold the roti from the left and then the right. Roll the wax paper around and below the wrap.

* Repeat for remaining rotis.

This video shows another easier technique to fold the wraps, my wraps were too small for this technique.
