Veg Frankie is a popular street food in Mumbai, India. We used to get really tasty and flavorful frankies in our college canteen. It’s a great snack to munch on any time of the day. Frankie comes in a variety of flavors like veg cheese frankie, schezwan frankie, paneer frankie etc. 

Frankie is a wrap/roll made with all purpose flour and stuffed with vegetables/sauces/meat etc. It is roasted on the griddle/tawa to make flaky and crispy. While making at home, wheat flour or multigrain flour or mix of all purpose and wheat flour can be used to make chapati for roll. It can be customized with any vegetables or sauces etc. 

It is easy to make and can be perfect for kid’s lunchbox.

• You can use any vegetables and sauces of your choice.
• Potato patty can be roasted to make it little crispy.
• If you don't like raw vegetables, slightly saute and add.
