Kathi Roll has a unique past that displays, creativity and comfort blended in one cuisine! The story goes back to the early 1930s in Kolkata, India. Where restaurants were bustling with new experimentations. New dishes with novel combinations and varieties were on the rise. One of those restaurants were the Nizam Restaurant, where the first Kathi roll is supposed to be born!
The word Kathi in Bengali means stick, mostly a wooden one. At first, the Nizam restaurant use to barbeque its kebabs on iron skewers, but as its popularity gradually grew, those iron sticks or skewers became difficult to handle in bulk orders. Moreover, those iron sticks were heavy and easily became hot. Therefore, the restaurant chose bamboo sticks which were called ‘Kathi’. These sticks were easily available since bamboo trees were native to the Bengali geography. Long bamboo branches were casted into small light weight wooden sticks, which were then used to barbecue the kebabs. Soon ‘Kathi kebabs’ became very popular. These were kebabs roasted or barbecued on a Kathi (wooden stick). Now with the course of time and job timings, various commuters were in a hurry! They needed taste and comfort while commuting to their jobs. It is believed, it is here where these ‘Kathi kebabs’ were rolled into a paratha, thus becoming ‘Kathi Roll’. Parathas are basically Indian flatbreads cooked on a low flame with oil until brown and slightly crispy. Kathi Rolls became an instant hit amongst the masses. It was a unique go to snack for anyone which could be enjoyed with comfort and creativity. Various eateries started to offer their own Kathi roll versions, which were equally good. Changes in the fillings, veggies, sauces and barbecue styles resulted in different kinds of Kathi rolls!
