Vegetable Frankie

 Vegetable Frankie

It is an Indian Burrito. It is one of the most loved Indian street food. It is made from whole wheat roti, layered with potato roll, chopped veggies like onion, tomato, grated cheese, green mint chutney and tomato ketchup with Frankie masala/chat masala.

It is easy to make and tastes yummy. This is my daughter’s favourite when made as per my mother’s recipe.

Ingredients:

For dough:

Wheat flour 2 cups

Oil to knead the dough

Salt to taste

For Frankie stuffing

Boiled, grated potato 2 cups

Frankie masala 1 teaspoon

Butter 2-3 teaspoon

Chilli powder ½ teaspoon

Turmeric powder ¼ teaspoon

Dry mango powder ½ teaspoon

Grated Cheese/paneer ½ cup

Chopped onion, tomato ½ cup

Chopped lettuce ½ cup

Grated carrot ½ cup

Salt as per taste

Ginger-small pice

Garlic-1-2 clove

Roasted cumin powder -1/4 teaspoon

Lemon juice 1 

Method:

Prepare dough from wheat flour for roti. It is a soft dough. Cover and keep it aside for 15-20 minutes. Knead again and divide balls. Roll and make thin chapatti of 8-10 inch diameter. Use dry flour while rolling. Heat tava on medium flame. Put roti once you see few bubbles, flip to another side. Cook roti partially and keep it covered in a muslin cloth to keep it soft.

Stuffing:

Take boiled potato, peel skin and mash them. Add finely chopped onion, chopped garlic. Now take oil and add ginger, garlic paste and saute.(garlic is optional).Add finely chopped onion and saute. Add cabbage, capsicum, carrot, lettuce and saute them (optional). Add dry mango powder, chilli powder, turmeric powder, garam masala and roasted cumin powder and mix well. Turn off the head and add boiled mashed potato and mix well. Squeeze lemon juice and mix again. Taste and adjust spices as needed. Make rolls and shallow fry on medium heat. (one can roll in bread crumps before shallow fry also).

Take tava, put butter and put partially cooked roti, cook on one side and flip it. Take off the heat, apply green chutney, tomato ketchup, chopped onion, carrot, tomato, Frankie masala. Keep potato roll over it, add grated cheese over it. Wrap it and serve with ketchup/chutney or sour cream.

Variations/Options:

Egg Frankie, Frankie with mayo, sriracha sauce instead of ketchup and green chutney.

Option of adding grated paneer instead of cheese is also a nice option.
