kathi roll or frankie recipes have always been a quick and easy street food recipe across india. it is known for its taste, flavour and more importantly its filling characteristics. having said that, it was predominantly a meat based recipe was stuffed with chicken, lamb or mutton based semi dry gravy. gradually the trend is changing and you can find many vegetarian alternatives too made with a combination of veggies, soya and other proteins. paneer frankie recipe or paneer kathi roll is one such hugely popular alternative amongst the younger generation which is made similar to meat-based frankie, yet has to offer a bouquet of flavour.
anyway, i would like to highlight some of the tips, suggestions and variations for a crisp and flavoured paneer frankie recipe. firstly, as i mentioned earlier you can make the same stuffing with any other vegetarian or meat alternative. just replace it with paneer and your frankie should equally taste good. secondly, if you are making these for tiffin or lunch box, ensure to wrap it tightly so that it does not turn soggy and lose its shape. as a matter of fact, it would be much easier and cleaner with store-bought wrap roll. lastly, with the stuffing, i have added cheese on top of the paneer. however you can skip if you are diet conscious.
