The best part of creating your own paratha rolls is that you get to use whatever ingredients you already have on hand!
The Paratha Roll Recipe Formula
If you’re looking to create your own paratha rolls, here’s a basic formula we love:
- Kabab or Protein – choose meat, vegetable or proteins that make a filling base for your paratha roll
- Toppings – almost any crunchy or juicy vegetables work so well for paratha rolls
- Sauces, Chutneys, Raita – the sauces add the most flavor. Use your favorites to make the best paratha roll!
- The Wrap – you can use roti, paratha, tortilla, naan, pita bread or any type of flatbread for a delicious “paratha roll” recipe!

The best kababs and fillings for paratha rolls
We typically love to use kababs or really any type of protein to make a good paratha roll. Leftover chicken is perfect for these cheesy, chicken and vegetable rolls.
Leftover Kababs that you already have in the fridge or freezer are ideal to make a quick paratha roll!

Vegetarian Filling Ideas for Paratha Rolls
Leftover curries or stirfries also make a delicious filling for paratha rolls. If you have leftover keema aloo or aloo gobi in the fridge, stuff it into a paratha roll for a delicious and simple lunch!
What type of Paratha to use for Paratha Rolls?
Homemade parathas
Homemade parathas of course make for a delicious paratha roll. They’re crispy, flakey, and full of flavor.
You can also use plain chapati roti or masala roti for a flavorful twist! Or stuff your kababs in a tandoori roti or garlic naan!
Frozen Parathas
We love keeping our freezer stocked with both homemade and frozen parathas so that we can make quick meals, like these paratha rolls.
You can get frozen paratha in many South Asian stores or even in regular grocery stores in many places in the US and Canada.
Other Flatbread Ideas
Any store-bought flatbreads will make for a good alternative to parathas.
Pita Bread or Tortillas are the perfect substitute for parathas and rotis!
Topping ideas
The best part of any paratha roll is the toppings.
You’ll want toppings that complement the main filling you have.
Start off with fresh vegetable toppings. We love using onions, tomatoes, cucumbers, and carrots – or any other fresh vegetables we have. Or you can use a simple salad as a filling. Some ideas are:
Chutneys and Sauces for Paratha Rolls
And of course, the last but maybe best part is the chutneys and raita. You can use your favorite sauces that you already have in your pantry, like ketchup, hot sauce, or chili garlic sauce.
Some of our favorite chutney and topping recipes include:
- Fresh and Herby Green Chutney
- Refreshing and Creamy Yogurt and Mint Raita
- Sweet and Tangy Tamarind Chutney
- Flavorful Green Imli Chutney
