Certainly! Here's a recipe for a popular Indian street food called Frankie:
Ingredients: For the dough:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon oil
- Water as needed
For the filling:
- 2 cups cooked and shredded chicken or paneer (Indian cottage cheese) for a vegetarian option
- 1 onion, thinly sliced
- 1 bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 2 tomatoes, thinly sliced
- 2 green chilies, chopped (optional)
- 1 teaspoon ginger-garlic paste
- 1 teaspoon chaat masala
- 1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder
- 1/2 teaspoon cumin powder
- 1/2 teaspoon red chili powder (adjust to taste)
- Salt to taste
- Oil or butter for cooking
- Fresh coriander leaves for garnish
- Lemon wedges for serving
For the mint chutney:
- 1 cup fresh mint leaves
- 1/2 cup fresh coriander leaves
- 1 green chili
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- Salt to taste
- Water as needed
Instructions:
- In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, salt, and oil for the dough. Gradually add water and knead until a smooth and elastic dough is formed. Cover and let it rest for 30 minutes.
- In the meantime, prepare the mint chutney. Blend the mint leaves, coriander leaves, green chili, lemon juice, salt, and a little water in a blender or food processor until smooth. Adjust the consistency by adding more water if needed. Set aside.
- Heat oil or butter in a pan over medium heat. Add sliced onions and cook until they turn translucent.
- Add ginger-garlic paste and sauté for a minute until the raw smell disappears.
- Add sliced bell peppers and cook for a few minutes until they soften.
- Add turmeric powder, cumin powder, red chili powder, chaat masala, and salt. Mix well.
- Add the cooked and shredded chicken or paneer to the pan. Stir-fry for a few minutes to combine all the flavors. Remove from heat and set aside.
- Divide the dough into small balls and roll them out into thin discs (like chapatis or tortillas).
- Heat a griddle or non-stick pan over medium heat. Place one rolled-out disc on the pan and cook on both sides until light brown spots appear. Remove from heat and set aside. Repeat with the remaining dough.
- To assemble the Frankie, place a cooked disc on a clean surface. Spread a spoonful of mint chutney over the disc.
- Place a portion of the prepared filling in the center of the disc. Top it with sliced tomatoes and chopped green chilies if desired.
- Sprinkle some fresh coriander leaves on top. Squeeze a little lemon juice over the filling.
- Roll the disc tightly to form a wrap, tucking in the sides as you go.
- Repeat with the remaining discs and filling to make more Frankies.
- Serve the Frankies hot as a delicious and satisfying street food snack.
Enjoy your homemade Frankies!
