aloo frankie recipe | alu paneer frankie | aloo cheese kathi roll with detailed photo and video recipe. perhaps one of the popular vegetarian street food snack recipe made with spiced potatoes and grated paneer. frankie or kathi roll recipes are favourite urban snack meal known for its taste and filling nature. there are hundreds and thousand way to make frankie stuffing, but this recipe uses only potatoes and paneer with cheese topping.
kathi roll or frankie recipes are one of the simple snacks to make. basically you can attempt this recipe with your leftover curry and chapati. the leftover curry (preferably dry sabzi) is used as stuffing and rolled in a chapati. however, the critical part is the flavoured and lip-smacking frankie masala used in this recipe. in this recipe, i have prepared the masala instantly, by combining the available dry spice powders. some prefer by roasting the dry spices and grounding them to powder, but i prefer this easy way. you may make it in bulk and store in an airtight container so that you can sprinkle it on top of the stuffing whenever you need it. in other words, there isn’t any particular frankie masala for different kathi rolls and it is a generic spice mix.
furthermore, i would also like to highlight some more tips, suggestions and variations to aloo frankie recipe. firstly, in this recipe, i have freshly prepared the roll or chapati with atta and maida combination of 1:1 ratio. you may very well skip the maida, but adding plain flour helps to roll it smoothly. secondly, while stuffing i have added spicy green chutney and tomato sauce for the tanginess. you may also add spicy maggi sauce or spicy red chutney with a combination of tamarind chutney to make it more flavoured and tasty. lastly, if you like to add cheese, add shredded to grated cheddar cheese. avoid using pizza or mozzarella cheese for any kathi roll or frankie recipe.
