- 1 tsp red chili powder
- 1 tsp mango powder amchur powder
- ½ tsp garam masala
- Salt
- 1 tsp chaat masala
- ½ cup Amul cheese
- 2-3 tbsp schezwan sauce
Instructions
- Boil and Mash the Potatoes: Start by boiling your potatoes until they’re fork tender. Once cooked, peel off the skin and mash them thoroughly with a potato masher.
- Prepare the Frankie Filling: In a bowl, combine the mashed potatoes with chopped onion, mixed vegetables, turmeric, red chili powder, mango powder (if using), garam masala, and salt. Mix everything well. You can use a glove for easier mixing. Set the filling aside.
- Assemble the Frankie: Spread out a paratha on a flat surface. (Optional) If using green chutney, spread it on the paratha first. Then, add a layer of schezwan sauce. Top with a generous 1/4 cup of the filling mixture, spreading it lengthwise. Layer on some shredded cheese, sliced onions, and chopped cilantro. Finally, squeeze some fresh lemon juice and sprinkle chaat masala on top.
- Wrap and Heat (Optional): Fold the paratha like a burrito, enclosing the filling. For added crispiness, lightly heat the frankie in a non-stick pan from both sides until golden brown.
- Wrap and Go: Once ready, use a piece of Ekvee Food Wrap to securely wrap the frankie. This eco-friendly wrap will keep your frankie hot and fresh for up to 4-5 hours, perfect for taking on the go!
- Enjoy! Serve the frankie hot and savor the delicious and satisfying flavors.
