A kati roll is a wrap that contains a filling and is wrapped in an Indian flatbread (roti). The word Kati, which means "stick" in Bengali, refers to the way they were originally prepared. However, in Bengal, the delicacy is simply known as "roll." Coriander chutney, egg, and chicken are common ingredients in Kati Rolls, but the variety can vary. Kathi roll has become a popular fast food dish at Indian take-out restaurants around the world, particularly in parts of Canada and the United States. The kati roll is believed to have originated in Kolkata's Nizam Restaurant, a popular eatery that opened in 1932. There are numerous accounts of how the roll came to be. Some believe that hurried office commuters wanted something quick and portable to eat, while others refer to British babus who were too pious to touch the kabab. Although the most likely origin is more mundane, someone decided to roll things up at some time. For decades, Nizam had a total monopoly on this method of serving kababs, but it gradually caught on in Kolkata and then elsewhere.
