Popular food and travel guide TasteAtlas has unveiled its latest list of the top 38 wraps in the world. A wrap typically consists of flatbread rolled around a filling of meat, vegetables, or other ingredients, often paired with a sauce or dressing. Topping the global list this year is Gyros from Greece - a classic dish made with thinly sliced meat wrapped in pita bread along with sauces such as tzatziki and vegetables like tomatoes, onions, lettuce, and cucumbers.
Representing India on this prestigious list is the iconic Kathi Roll from Kolkata on rank 6. This popular street food staple features skewered and roasted kebab meat wrapped in a flaky paratha flatbread. According to popular belief, the dish was born out of a clever adaptation at the legendary Nizam's restaurant in Kolkata, when British officers preferred not to eat kebabs with their hands, prompting the cooks to wrap the meat in paratha for easier handling.
