Chicken Frankie

The best Chicken Frankies that I have eaten were from my college canteen in South mumbai. Well the Mumbaiyan Frankies are meant to be spicy with a bit of sour taste.

Frankie is quite simple to make and this recipe makes it simple, quick and tasty… the only thing one should be careful about in making Frankie is the quantity of the ingredients used. The chicken pieces should be put in a good and filling quantity while the onions should be in a manner that it is liked by our tongue not too many and not too less either. 

Ingredients

500 gms Chicken

2 tspn Ginger-Garlic Paste

1 tspn Red Chilli Powder

1 tspn Coriander Powder

½ tspn Turmeric Powder

½ tspn Amchur Powder

½ tspn Tamarind Paste

1-2 Eggs

2-3 Onions (Finely Chopped)

½ cup Fresh Corriander (Finely Chopped)

½ cup Fresh Mint Leaves (Coarsely Chopped)

For the Outer Roll of the Frankie

1 cup Maida

1 cup whole wheat flour

1 tbspn Oil

Salt to taste

Method

1. In a vessel or pressure cooker, cook the chicken with ginger garlic paste, all the dry masalas (except the amchur powder and tamarind paste) and two cups of water.
2. Debone the chicken and cook it again in a pan with amchur powder and tamarind paste till dry. Keep aside till needed.

5. At the time of meal, heat the chicken.
6. Beat the egg in a bowl.
7. Take a roti and place it on a heated tava. Apply beaten egg with a fork on one side and flip it over. Now apply the egg on the top side while the egg cooks on the down side and flip it again. Cook the other side for 1-2mins only and take the roti off the heat and place on the butter paper.
8. Line the chicken in the centre from top to bottom on the cooked egg side, lot of onions next to the chicken and a line of coriander and mint leaves on the other side of the chicken.
