This skewer-roasted kebab wrapped in a parantha is said to have been invented by Nizam Restaurant. The story goes that one day a customer was in a hurry and asked for something light and dry which he could eat quickly. So pieces of chicken were removed from the curry, deboned, wrapped in a parantha and served. And so, the kebab roll was born. But soon after, the use of iron skewers to cook the chicken was disbanded and bamboo sticks were used for convenience. And hence, the name “kathi” roll stuck (kathi translates to ‘stick’) referring to the bamboo sticks in Bengali.
