In the 1930s, Kolkata witnessed a quiet food revolution. At Nizam’s, a simple problem sparked an iconic idea—how do you enjoy juicy kebabs without the mess? The answer changed Indian street food forever. Fire-grilled meat was wrapped in a flaky, buttery paratha, creating the Kathi Roll, India’s original “food on the go.”

From British officers during the Raj to today’s rushing office-goers, this humble wrap crossed classes, eras, and borders—becoming a global symbol of Indian street food brilliance.

If Indian food history makes you proud, this story is for you. Share it 🇮🇳
