Homemade Frankie

Have you tried the Mumbai Frankie before ? Tried making a home version of it and obviously with ingredients like cheese, potato and corn in the patty - even a simple chapatti wrap tasted yummy.

This can be either a breakfast, mini lunch, snack or dinner dish. You could say i removed the filling out of a usual aloo paratha and made the patties.

Makes approx. 6 patties
1 cup frozen corn : boiled in the microwave and then given a "blitz" / quick 2 sec mixer grind.

Simple basic ingredients: 
The kneaded chappati dough / u can also make it out of refined flour (but that's not the healthiest option)
1 boiled potato -mashed with your fingers / ready made potato mash will also work
2 tbsp grated cheese
1 cup corn - ground coarsely as mentioned before
Salt to taste
Lemon juice to taste
Butter (optional)
Tomato Ketchup / Lettuce / Olives / Sliced Onions and Tomatoes - all optional

Basic Ingredients:

Chappati - with a little clarified butter / ghee to keep it moist:

If you wish, you can fry the ground corn and mashed potato in some butter - just so you get that thoroughly "cooked" taste. But since all ingredients are already cooked - this Step is optional. Let the mixture cool and then add grated cheese and mix. 

At this stage if you have not yet cooked the chappati's you can also use the stuffing to make stuffed paratha's / stuffed rotis. Else proceed as given below. 

Shape the mixture into patties with your palms or with shaping mould. Dip them into a little milk and then gently roll them on some bread crumbs. Tip: For instant bread crumbs - check whether your mixer grinder chutney jar is absolutely dry. Just add some bits of rusk / milk toast to it and blitz. I have a jar of homemade breadcrumbs in the freezer - made out of side pieces of bread that have been baked in the oven and then "blitz"ed. 
Non-vegetarians - just use some egg "white" in place of milk - beat it up a bit before using. 

Shallow fry the patties in butter / oil or if using non-stick and mega cal. conscious then u can avoid that too.

Now is the creative bit. You can top chappati with lettuce, olives, sliced onions and tomato, sprinkle some amchur (dry mango) powder / chat masala (an indian concoction of spices) / lemon juice, etc. and add one patty to each chappati. Make a tight roll and cut the chappati into half for serving size. I simply put the patty inside the chappati and sprinkled 2 drops of lemon juice. 

And since my daughter wanted the rolls to come inside a foil, i rolled them into the foil cover for her lunch box today :-) Tomato Ketchup went by the side just in case she finds the roll too dry by  lunch time.
