Tips and tricks for your veg Frankie roll recipe

1. Use lightly cooked rotis that have brown spots. Place your rotis on an inverted tava for easier lifting. Make sure your rotis don’t become too crisp though; just a minimum amount of roasting will do. 2. Sealing the edges of your Frankie is key, you don’t want the gravy dripping onto your clothes at the first bite. Apply a little, but not too much pressure, lest the roti sinks into the stuffing. 3. If you’re planning to stick to a formatted recipe, make sure you watch the veg frankie recipe video- so that you can see what your Frankie should look like! Amarjit Singh Tibb trademarked the Frankie almost five decades ago, back in 1967. Coming from Lebanon and inspired by delicacies made from the Pita bread, he and his wife innovated to create flavorsome stuffings that comprise Frankie. But Frankie just won't stick to the norm, when you go by the varieties and versions available! Go on to experiment with your own veg frankie recipe!

What is Frankie?

If you are a connoisseur of street foods, you must have already had your share of the delectable frankie. It is well-known as Kathi rolls as well. In fact, swanky establishments have also started serving different variations of frankie rolls to cater to their patrons’ palate. The frankie recipe can more or less be described as an easy-to-eat dish that consists of spiced vegetables inside a chapati wrap with some green chutney and tomato sauce for additional flavour.

Origin Story Of The Veg Frankie

The original frankie roll recipe took birth in Beirut, Lebanon, where different types of stuffing were placed inside pita bread. With people travelling back and forth it was not long before this recipe made an entry into the Indian cuisine. Easily available local ingredients were used to make the filling and the pita bread was replaced by its Indian version, the chapatti. An easy snack to make and eat, it is not surprising that the frankie roll recipe has spread like wildfire. Many people added proteins like chicken, prawns, tofu, and paneer to turn them into a complete meal. Over time, the need for veg frankie recipes led to several varieties due to various trials and errors. The currently popular veg frankie recipe is vegan as well. Did you know that frankie rolls are an extremely popular tiffin meal in the Indian subcontinent? It is liked by kids and grownups alike.

How is it Different From Shawarma?

Shawarma is a pit bread wrap that has a delicious filling made with marinated meat that has been slowly roasted for hours on a vertical spit. It originated in Turkey in the 19th century. In no time, the shawarma made its way to different parts of the world and is an instantly recognizable wrap today. The shawarma filling consists of marinated and slowly roasted meat, French fries, tahini sauce, mayonnaise, and grated vegetables. Although the frankie roll recipe might seem similar to the delicious Shawarma they are poles apart. The Shawarma takes a long time to prepare as one has to wait for the marinated meat to slowly roast on the vertical spit. This is one of the reasons why authentic Shawarma cannot be made easily in your home. Fortunately, it is possible for you to indulge in a homemade frankie whenever you get a craving. It uses easily available ingredients and takes hardly fifteen minutes to make it from scratch. The vegetable frankie or kathi roll is extremely popular among vegans and vegetarians as well as people who are trying to keep an eye on their calorie intake. Loaded with nutrients and flavour, the franky dish is one recipe you do not want to miss out on!
