20 Minute Kathi Rolls

20 Minute Kathi Rolls

I’m heading to NY this fall and nothing says New York like shawarma carts and falafel stands. One of my favorite street carts is a Kathi roll stand that makes Indian wraps, kinda like a gyro or a burrito – but full of spicy goodness and flavorful veggies. While NY is a plane ride away, a kathi roll is only about 20 minutes in the kitchen.

Food

The dish combines so many of great pieces. The flavorful peppers and onions, the crack sauce, and my moms famous Karahi chicken. This chicken is honestly super easy to make and if you make extra, then you can just stand over the stove and eat it with a fork (I may or may not do this.)

I found this crack sauce recipe from one of my favorite food bloggers, The Chutney Life. It’s a jalapeno & cilantro based sauce that goes great with turkey, chicken, and even vegetarian meals. I’ve seen so many different ways to use the crack sauce and it stays well in the fridge for a few days.
