Adult me still loves these rolls. The classic Chicken Paratha Roll, the Beef Boti Roll, the Garlic Mayo Roll - each version has my heart. What can I say? I am very loving. However, what adult me does not have is the time or honestly the desire to knead the dough and then deep fry poori paratha. If someone were to do it for me I would be enormously grateful, but until that happens frozen parathas work just fine for me thank you very much. This version is weeknight friendly and makes even a Wednesday feel celebratory. Best part? I can do half the chutney with less spice and my kids will devour them too.
Ingredients in a Chicken Paratha Roll
A Boti Roll has three components. 1.) Chicken - marinaded in yoghurt, lemon juice, ginger garlic paste, and spices 2.) Chutney made with green chilies, yoghurt and spices. 3.) Crunchy onions mixed with cilantro and mint. When all three combine great things happen.
Can I Make A Boti Roll Ahead of Time?
This Boti Roll has made it to picnic menus, week at the cottage menus and busy week menus because it’s so hands off and requires minimal prep. When I make it for a picnic I assemble it in the morning, wrap it in foil or wax paper and take it to go. They are yummy at room temperature. When I make them to take to the cottage I marinade them a day in advance, make the chutney and the onion mix (separate containers please). Then when it’s time to eat I heat parathas, cook the chicken and put it all together.
What can I serve with Chicken Paratha Rolls?
A nice healthy side salad? I kid. A little. While a side salad is always a healthy choice the classic Boti Roll pairing is one of two things. 1.) Masala Fries - Just take your favorite frozen fries and scatter with chaat masala and a pinch of garam masala. 2.) Plain Fries (Or Masala) With Garlic Mayo - this is my personal favourite (recipe below)
