Some people make tamales for Christmas...

... but I made kathi rolls! Not nearly as much work as tamales, but with  a house full of hungry folks to feed, it sure got the job done.

Taught my sister how to debone chicken thighs. Marinated them overnight with homebrewed "curry" rub, ginger, garlic, mayo, a little yogurt, and some other stuff. used wheat tortillas for the wraps as they are somewhat healthier than the traditionally used parantha. @20stone and I cranked out a bunch of these at Salado 2015.

These are "anda chicken rolls" (egg chicken kathi rolls).

  

The secret ingredients are chaat masala and Maggi Hot and Sweet ketchup when the rolls are being assembled :) This is street food where I'm from  (Kolkata in India), and the newspaper works to keep it all together, as well as doubles up as a napkin.

    These were the best thing I had at Salado, and I don't think I was alone in that opinion.  The line was about thirty deep for several hours.

    Man, those look fantastic.  The newspaper wrap presentation is very sharp as well.

    We're just having barbacoa tacos while a ham inspired by @The Cen-Tex Smoker is finishing up on the egg.

    The sad thing is that MsStone is not feeding me, pending reversion of my wonky ticker (so they can electrocute me without threat of aspiration).  So I get to look at your kathi rolls and smell barbacoa breakfast tacos while my tunky grumbles.

    Wow that sucks.  You should ask @Mickey for your money back!

    At least you got some work out of him at Salado 2015.  In 2013 all he did was watch me and my son work our tails off from a distance that just far enough that we wouldn't ask him for any help.

    It'll be fine.  We have to wait until the ham is done before we do anything about it, though with the Flame Boss, I can do so from an appropriately reclined position.

    Thanks for all the kind comments, folks. Sorry - I lost track of my own thread since i've been busy with the family this week.

    @piney - its more of a process than a recipe, i guess. These are basically indian fajitas.

    Marinate some chicken (or whatever meat), with a rub of your choice. Tandoori masala is what I have used in the past. Slice up some onions and fry em up with spices of your choice. Beat some eggs, then pour some on to the griddle/skillet, and immediately slap a tortilla on top (this is how to get the egg to stick to the tortilla @Aviator). You're suppsoed to use parantha, which is kind of a flaky tortilla. 

    once the tortilla is done, assemble with the grilled meat, onions, and hot sauce. The newspaper wrapper keeps it all together so you can eat it one-handed. Done!

    As @JohnInCarolina mentioned, these were well-received at Salado this year. @20stone and I put our heads down and cranked out a bunch of these for a few hours straight, and came up for air only after we ran out. (Speaking of - you cardioverted yet?)

    Basically the same. The ones at Salado were better though, since they were made with paranthas.
