Frankie - Veg.

We have a chat bhandar and frankie place close to where we live. I love all kinds of frankie like veg., paneer, veg. cheese, palak paneer frankie. Ofcourse they have some non-veg too, where I don't take a glance at. Of all, I like paneer frankie, which I will present pretty soon, but for now I made the veg. frankie which is my kids favorite. The roti to roll the frakie, is kind of oily there. I did not use much oil at all to make these. I thought these were better than them.

Here is how you make it:

For chapathi/bread:
1 cup Maida
1/4 cup White wheat flour (you may use normal wheat flour too)
1 tsp Oil
1/4 tsp Baking powder
Salt as per taste

Mix flours,salt and baking powder in a bowl and pour little water in middle. On water pour the oil too and mix by adding little by little water to make it into a chapathi dough. Cover with a damp cloth and leave it aside.



For patties:
3 big potatoes
2 medium carrots
few green peas
1 medium onion
1/2 tsp red chilly powder
1/4 tsp amchur
1/2 tsp garam masala
1/4 tsp garlic powder
2 1/2 tbsp bread powder
1/2 tbsp corn flour
salt as per taste
oil to shallow fry

Peel and cube potatoes and carrots. Cook in water with little turmeric powder and salt. Prick with fork and see if the potatoes and carrots are cooked. Drain the excess water and keep aside until it cools.

Chop the onion very finely and add to the potatoes. Add green peas and the rest of the ingredients too. Add little salt too, but keep in mind that the potatoes and carrots are already cooked with salt. Shape them into long patties.

Heat oil in a pan and add two patties at one time and shallow fry them. Be careful that the green peas can pop out. Fry until it turns into golden brown in colour.

Assembling:



Tomato ketchup/sauce
1 medium onion very finely chopped
few leaves lettuce chopped up (optional)
little chaat masala

Take a chapathi and place a patty one corner. Pour some tomato sauce as per your requirement. I did not have green chilly sauce so I did not add, but usually even that is added to add some zing to the frankie. Now put some chopped onions and lettuce leaves on the pattie. Drizzle little chaat masala on top. Now fold the chapathi from the side where the patty is place to cover the patty and fold on your left side to cover the patty. Then keep rolling until you reach to the end of the chapathi. Thats it. Yummy yummy frankie is ready to be tasted.
