How to Make Pepper Chicken Kathi Roll (Traditional & Healthy Version)
Pepper Chicken Kathi Roll is a beloved lunch option that has found its way into Malaysian multicultural cuisine, harmoniously blending North Indian flavors with local Malaysian ingredients. Traditionally enjoyed as a street food, this roll is now a popular grab-and-go meal in cities like Kuala Lumpur and Penang. In our healthy version, succulent chicken breast is marinated with freshly cracked black pepper, aromatic spices, and a touch of local pandan and lemongrass, then wrapped in a soft, wholemeal roti for a satisfying meal. Malaysians appreciate the Kathi Roll for its bold layers of flavor—spicy, tangy, and fragrant—while the roll format makes it perfect for busy lifestyles. The use of local herbs such as daun ketumbar (coriander leaves) and limau nipis (lime) gives this dish a uniquely Malaysian twist. Whether enjoyed at home or packed for lunch, the Pepper Chicken Kathi Roll is a testament to Malaysia’s culinary diversity and love for wholesome, flavorful food.
