Chicken Ghee Roast Roll

 The Chicken Ghee Roll is a roll made out of a crispy paratha with a filling of ghee roasted chicken along with some onions, green chilies, lemon juice, and fresh mint. This recipe is not only one of my favourite recipe but also one of those recipes that depicts my root as its inspiration is taken from the streets and lanes of Kolkata’s famous Kathi Rolls but the twist is that I have added some flavours of my own. I know some recipes should be kept untouched but being a culinary student it is our responsibility to evaluate those heritage recipes with a touch of the modern era. Thus, the responsibility could turn into honour if it could reach the taste palate of each and every individual. Taking an overview anatomy of this dish – the spicy and chunky pieces of roasted chicken along with the richness of ghee, some freshness of thinly sliced onions, freshly squeezed lemon juice, and hotness of green chilies, all of them wrapped inside a soft, crispy yet flaky paratha will accord your taste palate with a robust of wholesome flavours. The best thing is it can be made by anyone and can be enjoyed from single individuals to family gatherings.

  3. In a kadhai, heat some ghee along with some oil and add the onions. Fry them till they are golden – brown, add the masala paste, and cook till the oil separates.
  4. Once the oil has been separated from the masala paste, add the chicken pieces along with the marinade and keep stirring in order to prevent the yoghurt from curdling.

Make sure you do not overfill it and you can add any flavour of condiment as per your liking – mayonnaise, ketchup, chili sauce, and many more. After all, the taste is subjective.
  10. Lastly, gobble it down.

  This fish curry is my mother's recipe, and it is quite different from the normal mustard fish or "shorshe maach". The use of Bori (dried lentil dumplings) is traditional and it gives a wonderful texture to the curry. The flavour of mustard enhances with time as it cooks along with the fish. We have used Rohu, you can also use Hilsa or Katla for this recipe. It is recommended that the fish cuts from a bigger fish is used, the flavours would be more enhancing, my mother cooks this recipe quite often and every time she cooks, the flavour, the texture remains amazing.
