Paneer-Potato Frankie

Frankie is a very popular street eat in Mumbai. These vegetarian wraps, stuffed with spiced potatoes and paneer, are good for brunch, lunch or dinner. It is very, "chatpata" and easy to make. There are various ways to make the wraps/ frankie - whatever stuffing you like you may make it with those ingredients. For example, potato-only stuffing, palak paneer, mixed vegetables, schezwan noodle, etc. Here, I am sharing the paneer-potato version. You may make Jain frankies using raw banana instead of potatoes. I hope you all like my recipe!

Chutney: 

Green chutney, use as per your taste (check my recipe)

Sweet and sour chutney, use as per your taste  (check my recipe)

Directions:

1. In a bowl, mix both the flours, salt, milk and knead into a soft dough. You may add a little water to make the dough softer. Cover with a damp muslin cloth. Keep aside for at least 1/2 hour. Take a small ball of dough and roll out a circle (similar to roti). It should be thick, not thin. Place it on a hot skillet and roast on both sides. Prepare all the rotis similarly. You may also use store-bought wrap rotis too. 
2. In a bowl, grate the paneer. Then, add mashed potatoes, salt, lemon juice, turmeric powder, red chili powder, roasted cumin powder, mango powder, chopped green chili, fresh chopped coriander leaves, chaat masala and salt to taste, 
3. Mix well and shape the mixture into long-sized patties (see photos). Heat a little oil on a non-stick pan and cook these patties in it. Turn to cook both sides, remove and put onto a plate. 
4. Chop the onions, coriander leaves, add all the spices and mix. 
5. Heat the tawa, apply a little oil and warm the roti lightly until golden brown (see photos).
6. On the roti, spread green chutney and sweet and sour chutney. Place a patty and on top of it, add marinated onions, sprinkle some chaat masala and fold the roti.
7. Enjoy hot with green chutney and sweet and sour chutney on side as well.
