When I think of Indian food in Kolkata I think of the delicious Kati Roll. Like no other Indian food I've tasted before the Kati Roll is a Bengali speciality found in small little 'hole in the wall' style eateries around Kolkata. They are fast food, Indian style.
Dough balls are manipulated and gently tossed to form a circle of flat paratha like bread and are then placed on an oily hot fry pan. An egg is then cracked on the base and mixed until it coats one side of the flaky flat bread and it is flipped and fried until the whole thing is golden. This is then piled with lashings of finely shaven sweet red onions along with your filling of choice - mine was paneer which is spiced and fried and vegetables (more like curry spiced mash potatoes). They then top it with spicy tomato sauce. The hole thing is then rolled into a wrap style role and kept together with paper... Yum! I want one now! :)
