Egg Katti Rolls…… but not really



If you’re like me and you’ve been craving the famous Syanko katti rolls, you can try to make your own version of it. I mean it has been more than half a year and I was craving those bad boys so I gave it a try, which is why I call it egg katti rolls, but not really.

Here is what you will need:

For the dough:

3 cups Flour (depending on your serving size of course)

Water

2 tablespoons curd

A pinch of salt

2 teaspoons oil

1 tablespoon sugar

For the filling:

Eggs (I used four)

3-4 green chilies

2 onions

1 lemon

Ketchup

Mayonnaise

Cumin powder

Meat masala powder/ momo masala powder

Black pepper

Black salt

Red chili powder

Butter

The preparation time will take you around 40 minutes and that is because you need to rest the dough. Cutting and readying up the other stuff will take your around 10 – 15 minutes.

Instructions

  1. You will need to prepare the dough first. Take a large bowl and pour in your flour as per your serving size.
  2. Add in your curd
  3. Put in that pinch of salt to your dough and your sugar.
  4. Give it a mix and add water accordingly.
  5. Knead your dough until it becomes soft and stretchy. Your bowl should be clean.
  6. Add a little oil to the dough and set it aside to rest for at least half hour.
  7. Cut up your green chilies and set it aside
  8. Cut up your onions. Cut them up in long strands and not in little pieces. Separate the layers. And add lemon juice to the cut up onions. Set it aside
  9. Take a small bowl and put in about 4 tablespoons of ketchup and 3 – 4 tablespoons of mayonnaise. Give it a good mix and set it aside.
  10. After half an hour, take your dough and divide into equal parts. Take a little bit of flour for making the rolling of the dough easier.
  11. Take a pan and on medium heat, drizzle a little bit of oil in there.
  12. Put in your roti and turn after about a minute. Put in a dab of butter for the second side and press with your spatula and keep turning on sides of the pan. Flip it over one more time.
  13. Once your rotis are ready, we will be making the scrambled eggs. On low heat, drizzle in your oil on your pan.
  14. Crack in your eggs and put a pinch of salt.
  15. Stir the eggs with your spatula to make scrambled eggs, making sure your pan and your spatula are nonstick of course.
  16. When the eggs are done, we will be assembling the rolls.
  17. Take one roti, and lay the sauce on the bottom. Add your scrambled eggs, green chilies and onions.
  18. Sprinkle that spice mixture we made earlier.
  19. Roll up your roti and you can use butter paper or other kind of napkin or paper for the bottom half of the roll. It makes it holding the roll easier like they do at Syanko’s. Tuck the excess part of the paper into the bottom of the roll.

And that’s it. That’s what you can work with for the time being for katti rolls. Feel free to substitute the eggs for anything else you like of course. You could make chicken katti rolls, paneer katti rolls, veg katti rolls, anything you like.

Rajamati

I think we’ve all heard the song of Rajamati growing up. It is so popular that many people in Nepal claim this is the only Newari song that they have heard. The song was written some 200 years back. The first few lines go like this, which I’m sure you must have heard of, unless you’ve been living under a rock: Rājamati kumati, jike wasā pirati Hāya bābā Rājamati-chā Rājamati mabila dhāsā Kāshi wane tela bubā Hayā biu Rājamati-chā. San dhāsā kuli kuli, mikhā dhāsā bālā bālā Sakumi yā mhyāy machā lā Khwā dhāsā tuyu khwā, khwālay niga tee du Tāhā Nani yā Rājamati-chā. It is said to be written by or rather from the perspective of a man who was infatuated and in awe of the beauty of Rajamati. He describes with great admiration: her hair, her eyes, her complexion and the little moles on her face. However it is unknown who the writer of this beautiful song is. The song rushed into popularity after it was played in England in 1850 when Prime Minister Jung Bahadur Rana vi...

The Leaving vs The Left Behind

  I still remember,  I was standing near the entrance looking out at the garden. I was at my best friend’s home and she had gone to get her ever famous chips chilly for me. I was to leave for Bangalore again, in a couple of days. While I waited, I looked out at the garden and this thought came into my head. “Who is it harder for? The one leaving or the ones left behind?” Is it going to be harder for me in a new place readjusting and exploring, or my best friend here, who will me miss me? Is it harder for a person to settle in a completely new place with a completely new lifestyle and have to find new people or for a person to see the same old places, the same old alleys and reminiscent the good times they had with their friend who are not around at the moment? It was a random thought that filled my mind a couple of minutes and then I got over it. Some time after resettling here in Bangalore, my best friend sent me a reel. The reel was about 2 close friends who used to lived ...

Most Asked Question

  Coming back home after one year has been a rollercoaster of emotions for me the past month. Getting to see everyone again, embracing family and friends, working on an office desk again, walking through same old alleys and of course, devouring delicious food that I so dearly missed. I am actually almost through the food list that I have been saving. But the people have been asking me the same question a lot: do you like it here in Nepal or in Bangalore? And the answer has always been the same for me: I like it wherever I am. Kathmandu is home, it is warm, and it is where family is. Bangalore is a different vibe and freedom and excitement. Kathmandu is a different fun and Bangalore is different fun, which is why I live in the moment and enjoy where I am. My mother always tells me: “ La wani tha nya wani ma” in Nepal Bhasa meaning “ the fish must go where the water goes”. The meaning while very basic is also very deep. If the fish does not flow with the water, it cannot survive. I...
