Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Paratha
In a mixing bowl, combine the flours and salt.
Add water gradually, kneading into a soft dough. Rest for 20 minutes.
Roll the dough into medium-sized parathas and cook them on a hot tawa with a drizzle of oil until lightly golden on both sides. Set aside.
Step 2: Make the Chicken Filling
Heat oil in a pan and sauté onions until translucent.
Add ginger-garlic paste and cook until aromatic.
Mix in tomatoes and spices (turmeric, chili powder, garam masala, cumin).
Add chicken pieces and cook until tender. Adjust salt.
Garnish with fresh coriander leaves.
Step 3: Make the Vegetarian Filling
Heat oil in a pan and sauté onions until translucent.
Add ginger-garlic paste (if desired) and cook briefly.
Mix in tomatoes and spices (turmeric, chili powder, garam masala, cumin).
Add crumbled paneer or boiled potatoes and cook until combined. Adjust salt.
Garnish with fresh coriander leaves.
Step 4: Assemble the Franky
Place a paratha on a clean surface.
Spread green chutney and ketchup/mayo over it.
Add a generous portion of the chicken or vegetarian filling in the center.
Top with sliced onions, shredded cabbage, and a sprinkle of chaat masala.
Roll the paratha tightly to form the Franky. Secure with foil or paper if needed.
Tips for the Perfect Franky
Customize the Filling: Experiment with other proteins like tofu, eggs, or mushrooms.
Enhance the Flavor: Add cheese for a creamy twist.
Chutney Varieties: Try mint chutney, garlic chutney, or even hummus as a base.
Make it Healthier: Use multigrain flour for the paratha and add more veggies.
