Kathi Roll
Me and my husband love to try different kinds of food and I enjoy trying out new recipes. Manjula aunty’s recipes are my favorite. I love the Malai Kofta recipe the most and I recommend all my friends to try her recipes. It comes out really well and tastes amazing. She never uses onion but I add them where ever I feel like as my husband loves onions. One day I registered myself for the free newsletter and got this email to participate in the contest. I explored the rules and noticed that I had to make a cold or hot wrap using roti or tortilla. I thought of this recipe as we have kathi roll in restaurants all the time and it tastes yummy. I tried it using my own style of ingredients and veggies along with Indian chutney. It came out really well and my family enjoyed it very much. I hope everyone else like it too. Its healthy meal for kids and I hope you enjoy it.

Kathi rolls are one of my favorites, and this is a bit different from how i have been making it. Looks very tempting, will give it a try.
I also had a question for you, i usually make these for small get togethers, do you have any ideas on how you can make them before hand and keep them warm? Do you think keep warm setting in the over would work or would it make it dry ? Any ideas?
Thanks
Mita

Were you just trying to brag or were you trying to make Vinitha feel bad?
Guess what – she has an “emphisis” on Indian cuisine as well – She’s Indian and has grown up cooking this way all her life. Just because you are a culinary professor – you don’t have to come here and make useless comments like you just did. Your comment wasn’t constructive and you came off a little pompous snobby chef having to state his qualifications. So what that you are a professor with an emphasis on Indian cuisine. Most of us who are on this site and respond on a regular basis have been here for quite some time and we don’t feel the need to leave remarks like that.
I absolutely don’t see why it was necessary to leave the comment you did. If you’d like to stay on this site, you might do well to have some polite manners .

August 25, 2010 at 1:56 pmEhhh…Sounds alright. Too much going on with this one. I would know, I’m a culinary professor in NY with an emphasis in Indian cuisine.

August 28, 2010 at 9:44 amAdam, this kind of a “kathi” roll is quite common in India. I don’t see anything wrong with the ingredients and they are authentic. I think this should taste good.
Kathi rolls may not be “sophisticated” enough to make it onto culinary curriculum, but they are part of a large group of snacks/vendor foods within India.

This is one of the most easiest recipes in India. if you are a professor on indian cuisine, how come you don’t know.
Now try making kashmiri dum aloo. That is tough work(for you).
