Bombay frankie. For a delicious meal that the whole family will love, try these street style wraps bursting with classic flavors. Prep the filling with potatoes or chicken tossed with aromatic frankie masala. Spread the wraps with schezwan sauce, add the filling, and then top with cabbages and green chilies in vinegar.

Why I Love These Wraps
Let’s be honest: street foods are pure magic combining both taste and comfort. And for me, it’s one of the few things that deliver instant gratification, just because they are unbelievably tasty and totally addictive. I have always been a huge fan of street eats, and at the moment, these frankies are firmly in rotation on the menu.
These Indian burritos are quite literally designed with easy customization on mind. The perfect frankie is all about the soft wrap, crunchy veggies, the flavorful masala spiked filling, and chat masala. The best part? Customizable filling ranging from potatoes, paneer, tofu, chicken, lamb, egg or vegetables. With the wrap, the traditional choice is soft, flaky paratha, however, you can also opt for tortillas or leftover rotis.
