Recipe> Indian Style Hot Dog

Image: Mutton Roll

Text by: Tanya Munshi

For a snack like this, naming it was slightly difficult for me. I didn't exactly wanted to call it 'hot dog', but then let the name remain till I think of something really good. This snack is filling and I sometimes serve it for breakfast as thats the most important meal of the day. In fact, this snack comes very handy for picnics or when you're on a long drive and don't have time to eat if you start early morning.

You can get Al Kabeer's Mutton Hot dogs (skinless), its quite delicious, I like the mutton texture that it has. This snack strongly resembles the famous chicken and egg rolls from Calcutta. Since this is one of my favourite snacks, I tried my own variation, yet again. So here goes -

Ingredients:
  • Parathas/ Chapattis/ Rotis - 1 - 2 nos.
  • Mutton Hot Dogs - 1-2 nos
  • Mayonnaise - 1 tbsp
  • Egg - 1 - 2 nos.
  • Garlic - 1 flake
  • Ginger - Less than half an inch
  • Freshly ground black pepper
  • Salt to taste

Method:
1. Beat the eggs in a bowl, add ground pepper, salt and grate the ginger and garlic.
2. Make an omlette with it, and keep aside.
3. Heat the parantha/ chapatti/ roti on a non-stick pan with a little oil on both sides and keep aside.
4. Cut the hot dogs from the middle in two halves and saute them in the non-stick pan till brown.
5. Now smear the Mayonnaise well on the chapattis and place the omlette on top. Place the hot dogs on that and roll it up.
6. Wrap it in an absorbent paper and serve hot with tomato ketchup.
