Rolls

Rolls, also known as Kathi Rolls or Frankie Rolls, are a popular street food in India. They are a type of wrap or roll that consists of a flatbread (roti or paratha) filled with various fillings, such as marinated and grilled meats, vegetables, sauces, and chutneys. Rolls offer a convenient and flavorful way to enjoy a quick meal or snack on the go.

The base of a roll is typically a flatbread, which can be either a soft roti or a flaky paratha. Roti is made from whole wheat flour and cooked on a griddle, while paratha is a layered and flaky bread made from whole wheat flour and ghee (clarified butter). The flatbread is cooked until it is soft, pliable, and slightly crispy.

To prepare a roll, the flatbread is typically heated on a griddle or tawa and then layered with the desired fillings. The fillings are spread across the center of the bread, and additional chutneys and sauces are drizzled on top. The roll is then tightly wrapped, securing the fillings within the flatbread.

Rolls are often served with a side of fresh salad, pickles, or yogurt (raita) to complement the flavors and add a cooling element. They are usually served hot and can be enjoyed as a quick snack or a complete meal depending on the size and filling.

Rolls are incredibly versatile, and you can find a range of variations across different regions of India. They are a popular street food and can be found at food stalls, fast-food joints, and even some restaurants. Rolls are loved for their convenience, portability, and the explosion of flavors they offer.
