A kati roll (mostly misspelled as kathi roll) is a street food originating from Kolkata, India. In its original form, it is a skewer-roasted kebab wrapped in a paratha bread. Today, mostly any wrap containing a filling enfolded in an Indian flatbread (roti) is called a kathi roll. As the name suggests, Paneer Kathi Roll contains Paneer as the main ingredient in the filling.

- Heat 1 tbsp of oil in a nonstick pan and add Jeera seeds and crushed dhaniya seeds.

- Flip it once you start seeing small bubbles in the roti.
