Some days, all I need is something warm, spicy, and comforting—without spending hours in the kitchen. That’s when I turn to my all-time favorite: An Egg Kathi Roll.
It’s quick, filling, and brings back memories of walking down the buzzing streets of Kolkata, where every other corner has a stall rolling up flaky parathas stuffed with eggs, onions, and chutney. The smell alone would pull you in.
But let me tell you a fun fact I recently came across—this iconic Kolkata egg roll was first made in 1932 at a place called Nizam’s. Back then, they served kebabs on skewers wrapped in paratha. Over time, eggs made their way into the roll and the rest is history. Now, it’s one of the most loved street foods across India.
Here’s how I make it at home using Eggoz eggs (trust me, it makes a huge difference).
🫓 Quick Tip: Making the Perfect Thin Paratha
If you’ve got a little extra time, skip the store-bought stuff and make your own thin, roll-friendly paratha.
Here’s what I do:
-
Mix wheat flour, a pinch of salt, and a teaspoon of oil. Add water and knead into a soft dough.
-
Let it rest for 15–20 minutes.
-
Roll out the dough thin—like really thin. Thinner parathas make for better rolls.
-
Cook on a tawa with a few drops of oil until lightly golden on both sides.
That’s it. Soft, pliable, and way better than anything out of a packet.
🍳 Let’s Roll: Easy Egg Kathi Roll Recipe
Ingredients:
-
2 Eggoz eggs (they’re farm fresh eggs—tastes better, feels better)
-
Salt & pepper
-
1 paratha (readymade or homemade)
-
Sliced onions & capsicum
-
Green chutney (or ketchup if you’re like me and love shortcuts)
-
A pinch of chaat masala
Step-by-Step:
-
Crack & Whisk
I start by cracking open two Eggoz eggs—they have this bright yellow yolk and zero weird smell. Beat them with some salt and pepper.
-
Pour & Press
Heat a pan, pour in the eggs, and before they set, place your paratha right on top. Press it down lightly so it sticks to the egg.
-
Flip & Fill
Once the egg is cooked, flip the whole thing. Add your onions, capsicum, some chutney, and a light sprinkle of chaat masala.
-
Wrap & Serve
Roll it up, wrap it in foil if you’re packing lunch, or just eat it straight from the pan like I usually do.
Why I Switched to Eggoz Eggs?
Before I started using Eggoz, eggs were just… eggs. Now I can actually taste the difference. They’re farm fresh, chemical-free, and delivered straight to my doorstep.
If you're searching for buy white eggs online or want to buy farm fresh eggs near me, Eggoz is hands down the best I’ve found. Plus, you can buy eggs online at best prices in Gurgaon without stressing about freshness.
So if you’ve got 10 minutes, a paratha, and a couple of Eggoz eggs in your fridge, you’ve got yourself a mini trip to Kolkata—minus the traffic.
Give it a try. And if you’ve got your own twist on the egg roll recipe, I’d love to hear it.
