Vegetable Frankie with Egg Wrap

Frankie is a fast food that people in Mumbai must be familiar with. It is yummy and very filling. I remember my college days when I had it outside my college with friends from the stalls set up by street food vendors. Street food has it's own charm in Mumbai just like all the falafel and hot dog stalls in New York city. Mumbai is known for its fast food stalls.  With it's wide array of fast food ranging from vada pau, all chaats, sandwich, frankies, pav bhaji to dosa stalls you have streets famous for the food it has to offer.

Frankie is basically a tortilla wrapped with savory filling. Fillings can range from potatoes, paneer to keema, chicken, etc.


Ingredients:

  • 6 whole wheat tortillas
  • 3 eggs
  • 4 potatoes cooked and mashed
  • 1 green bell pepper chopped
  • 1/2 cup cooked green peas
  • 1/2 cup grated paneer/ cheese (optional)
  • 1 onion chopped
  • 1/2 cup cilantro leaves chopped
  • 1 tsp red chilli powder (you can adjust this as per taste)
  • 1/2 tsp amchur/ dry mango powder
  • 1 tsp chat masala
  • 1 tsp cumin powder
  • 1 tbsp lime juice
  • 2 tbsp cooking oil
  • salt to taste
Directions:
  • In a deep pan heat oil. Add chopped bell pepper. Saute well.
  • Add red chili powder, amchur powder, chat masala, cumin powder and mix well. 
  • Add potatoes, paneer/ cheese, green peas, chopped onion, cilantro, lime juice and salt to taste. Remove from heat and mix everything well. You can add any other filling like scrambled eggs, cooked minced chicken, etc. Get creative with the filling.
  • Keep this filling aside.
  • Heat tortilla on a griddle, on both sides. Add beaten eggs, 1-2 tablespoon on one side of the tortilla. Spread it all over and flip it. Let the eggs get cooked. Then flip and let brown spots appear on the other side.
  • Take this tortilla fill it with the prepared filling, roll it and serve with tomato ketchup.
  • Enjoy

Tip:
  • If you don't get ready tortillas then make large rotis out of whole wheat flour. Just knead it with milk and add little oil to help the kneading process. Roll out and make regular rotis, lightly cooking on both sides.
