Vegetable Frankie

 Vegetable Frankie

 It is one of the most loved Indian street food. It is easy to make and tastes yummy. This is my daughter’s favourite when made as per my mother’s recipe.

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.

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

Salt as per taste

Ginger-small piece

Garlic-1-2 clove (optional)

For additional garnishing

Grated Cheese/paneer ½ cup

Chopped onion, tomato ½ cup

Chopped lettuce ½ cup

Grated carrot ½ cup

Ketchup

Green chutney

Sour cream

Method:

Prepare soft dough from wheat flour for roti. Cover and keep it aside for 15-20 minutes. Knead again and divide balls. Roll and make thin chapatti of 6-8 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 a pan, add butter, add ginger, garlic, onion and sautee. Add salt, boiled and mashed potato, add dry mango powder, chilli powder, turmeric powder, garam masala and mix well. Taste and adjust spices as needed. Turn off  and allow the mixture to cool.

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, chopped lettuce, sprinkle frankie masala. Keep potato roll over it, add grated cheese/paneer over it. I generally add ketchup, and mayo mixture in a frankie and serve with sour cream and wrap it to serve it hot. 

Variations/Options:

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