Frankies (Indian Burritos)
These Indian Frankies are a handheld burst of flavor, packed with spicy potato-chickpea filling, tangy chutneys, and crunchy onions all wrapped in a soft homemade flatbread.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups whole wheat flour
- 2 large boiled potatoes, mashed
- 1 cup boiled chickpeas, lightly mashed
- 4 tablespoons green chutney
- 4 tablespoons tamarind chutney
- 1 medium onion, thinly sliced
- 1/4 cup chopped coriander
- 1 teaspoon chaat masala
- 1/2 teaspoon cumin powder
- 1/2 teaspoon garam masala
- Lemon wedges, for squeezing
- 2 tablespoons oil
- Salt to taste
- 1/2 teaspoon red chili powder
- Butter, for toasting
- 2 tablespoons yogurt (optional)
Instructions
- Heat your skillet or tawa over medium-high heat to prepare for cooking the flatbreads.
- In a bowl, combine mashed potatoes, chickpeas, cumin powder, garam masala, red chili powder, salt, and 1 tablespoon of oil. Mix well until evenly combined.
- Grease your skillet with oil or butter. Keep chutneys, onions, and other toppings ready.
- Roll dough balls into thin circles. Cook each paratha on the hot skillet until golden on both sides. Spread green and tamarind chutney on each flatbread, add the filling, onion slices, chaat masala, and chopped coriander.
- Fold and roll the wraps tightly, then toast them on the skillet seam-side down with butter until crispy and golden.
- Wrap the bottom half of each Frankie in parchment or foil. Squeeze lemon over the filling and cut in half if desired.
- Serve immediately with extra chutneys and a yogurt drink or lassi.
Notes
- Prep the chutneys and filling ahead for quicker assembly.
- Don’t overfill to avoid breaking the wrap.
- Use parchment for easier rolling and eating.
- Let fillings cool slightly to prevent soggy bread.
