CHICKEN KEEMA ROLLS WITH FRNCH FRIES

Chicken Keema Rolls are the kind of food that makes you want more- It is almost impossible to eat only one ! They take time to make but the result is well worth the effort! This delicious dish is really  tasty. Juicy morsels of spicy chicken are wrapped in parathas / chapatties. It is best, to ensure smooth workflow, to make the chapatties and the salsa required for the rolls, before you prepare the chicken.  I also used some French fries while making the rolls which I prepared before hand. I also added some tomato salsa to give a punch while eating the rolls.

Chicken rolls is one of the popular street-food originated from Kolkata. There are two basic parts : making the chapatties and another is inner chicken stuffing. One they are ready, all you need to do is assemble the rolls and serve! Be a kid or a tennager or an adult or an oldie, chicken lovers trend all over the world at all times!  One meat that is a favourite of all beyond belief! When cooked, it can be presented in many ways. Saute it , fry it, toss it or bake it, steam it –eat it the ways you want to. What ever its form may be upon being cooked, its flavour may change but its flesh remains high in protein, low in fat and can be digested easily.
