What to do:

  • Marinate the chicken breast in a pinch of salt, lemon juice, coriander powder, cumin powder, turmeric powder and red chilli powder.
  • Mix well and refrigerate for hrs or overnight.
  • To prepare the filling, heat the pan with oil and sauté the garlic for about 30 seconds.
  • Add the finely chopped onions and as always, a pinch of salt to help quicken the onion frying.
  • When the onions turn translucent, add the ginger pieces and sauté for about a minute. Add the turmeric and the other spices - red chilli, cumin, coriander powders, and fry.
  • Add the marinated chicken to the spices and cook the chicken well with the spices.
  • Add about 60 ml of water. Add salt to taste. Mix well and close with a lid and let the chicken cook in medium heat for 5-6 minutes.
  • Dry the cooked marinated chicken to avoid sogginess in the Frankie.
  • For making the roll, heat the pan and fry the paratha or tortillas or rotis. Keep the fried roll in another dish.
  • Beat two eggs adding some salt and spicy masalas. Press the paratha from the side facing you so that the paratha and the egg join together. In about a minute’s time, flip the paratha. After about 30 seconds transfer the paratha to a plate with the egg facing you.
  • Add some portion of the chicken breast to the center. Add some onions, sprinkle chaat masala and some chopped mint/ coriander leaves and squeeze some lemon juice.
  • Roll it up tightly just like any wrap and cover with some silver food foil.
