Maida (all purpose flour) 2 cups 

Salt 1/2 teaspoon 

Oil or ghee 2 tablespoons 

Water as needed (consistency)

For chicken filling 

Boneless chicken 250 grams (cut into small cubes or shredded)

Ginger garlic paste 1 tablespoon

Garam masala 1/2 teaspoon 

Zeera 1/2 teaspoon 

Oil 3 tablespoons 

For salad and assembly 

Onion medium (thinly sliced, soaked in vinegar)

Cucumber 1/2 (thin slices)

Cabbage or lettuce a little (thinly shredded)

Tomato ketchup 3 tablespoons 

Mayonnaise 3 tablespoons 

Green chutney 2 tablespoons optional 

Method 

1. Preparing the dough for paratha :

Put flour in a bowl, add salt and oil.

Slowly add water and knead into a soft dough. Do not make the dough too tight or loose. 

Once the dough is ready, cover it and let it rest for 20 to 25 minutes. 

Then divide it into small balls. 

2. Making the chicken filling:

Heat oil in a pan. 

Add cumin seeds and chopped onions and fry until golden brown. 

Now add ginger garlic paste and fry a little.
Then add tomatoes and green chilies and cook until well mashed. 

Now add salt, red chili, turmeric and coriander powder and roast the spices. 

Add chicken cubes and cook on medium flame for 10 to 12 minutes. 

When the chicken becomes soft, sprinkle garam masala and mix.

The filling is ready. If desired, you can also use shredded chicken.

3. Making paratha:

Take a ball of rested dough and roll it into a paratha sized round shape with a rolling pin. 

Heat a pan or tawa and a little oil or ghee and fry until golden brown on both sides. 

Repeat these steps for all the balls. 

4. Assembling the chicken roll:

Take a paratha and spread a little ketchup on it.

Place the chicken fillings in the center

Add sliced onion, cucumber and cabbage/lettuce on top. 

Drizzle mayonnaise and chutney. 

Now roll the paratha tightly and wrap it in aluminum foil so it is easy to eat.

Tips:

Knead the flour until it's soft and fluffy, making the parathas fluffy and tasty.

For a market style roll taste, use a little extra oil when baking the parathas.

Always keep the salad fresh, a soggy salad ruins the taste of the rolls.

If you like cheese, sprinkle grated cheese over the filling and roll it up for a creamy taste.
