Today, mostly any wrap containing a filling enfolded in an Indian flatbread ([[roti]]) is called a ''kati roll''. In native Bengali, the word {{Transliteration|bn|kati}} roughly translates to 'stick', referring to how they were originally made. In Bengal though, the delicacy is simply known as ''roll''. Kati rolls normally contain coriander chutney, egg, and chicken but the types may vary. Internationally, specifically in parts of Canada and the United States, the kathi roll has become a popular [[fast food]] found in Indian take-out restaurants.
