Additional recipe notes
Chicken Breast or Thighs: Both work equally well. If using thighs, trim off the excess fat. For best results, pat dry chicken before cutting into bite-size pieces so the marinate sticks to it well. Marination time: Since the chicken pieces are small, I find 20 minutes to be enough time for it to absorb the flavors from the marinade. However, if you need to attend to other things, you can refrigerate it up to 4 hours maximum. Make it dairy-free: Instead of regular yogurt use cashew yogurt or coconut cream. Onion Relish: An optional but highly recommended step which takes only 5 minutes. The heat of the filling mellows the pickled onions, making them slightly sweet and tangy. Green Chutney: For the most authentic taste, make your own using this Cilantro or Mint Chutney Recipe. Egg layer: An authentic Chicken Kathi roll has a layer of seasoned egg in it. That being said, if you want to skip eggs for any reason, this wrap will still deliver delicious flavors. Roll Options: For best results, I prefer to use store-bought flour tortillas or frozen Indian parathas, like Kawan paratha or Malabar paratha from Trader Joes. Note: The nutrition facts below are my estimates based on a serving of 2 flour tortilla rolls per person. If you are following any diet plan, I recommend cross-checking with your preferred nutrition calculator.
