When I was working in Hyderabad, I used to have frankies at a regular basis in my office cafeteria. I love them!!! . Now staying in US, I really miss this street food item.
I taught why not try in our home, and made this yummy snack this weekend. I and my husband enjoyed them a lot!!!
Frankie’s or Kathi Rolls is Street food item from India. These looks like wraps and they can be filled with a variety of ingredients like vegetables, meat, chicken, eggs, potatoes or paneer. I made paneer franky and learnt this recipe from showmethecurry cooking site.
We can use any variety of chuntey as a spread for roti. I used green chutney, sliced the Frankie’s into cute pieces and wrapped them with silver foil / to hold properly. To make these quick we can use tortillas or regular left-over Chapatis instead of roti’s.
