Another popular street food from Mumbai, frankie is the perfect snack for everyone!! Frankie is exciting, flavorsome, super tasty and easily customizable! These tongue tickling frankies are made by layering chapatis with a range of fillings, green chutney, chopped onions, pickled chillies and frankie masala . There is no right or wrong filling, you can experiment with whatever takes your fancy! Traditionally potato mix or paneer is used, but feel free to try cutlets or salads of your choice! We are using paneer jalfarezi as filling today!
Frankie Masala is easily available in markets , however it can be made quickly at home . I have written the recipe below. It takes hardly 5 minutes to make the masala . Also, feel free to try different sauces as the possibilities of making different types of frankie are endless!!

- After the resting time, knead the dough again a little. Divide it into 5-6 equal portions.
- Make 6 rotis/chapatis and don’t over cook them, just till a few brown spots appear.
- Keep them aside covered in a tissue paper or clean cloth to keep them warm.
For the filling:
- While the dough is resting , make paneer and babycorn jalfarezi as per the recipe here.
- Keep it aside to cool it down a little bit.
For pickled chillies:
- Add chopped green chilles and salt to 3 tbsp vinegar in a small bowl. Mix lightly.

How to proceed to make frankie:
- Place 1 roti/chapati on a clean dry surface and spread green chutney over it.

- Sprinkle some chopped onions of top of paneer mix.
- Add some green chillies in vinegar on top.
- Sprinkle frankie masala generously.
- Roll it up tightly.
- You can serve it like this ,or if you want ,you can make it crispy by lightly frying the wrap on a non stick pan/griddle in few drops of oil by keeping the seam side touching the tawa, so the filling doesn’t come out. Cook for a few seconds only. Don’t overcook.
- Wrap it in a tissue paper and serve immediately.
- Enjoy!!
