Mumbai ‘Frankie’
«

I have to admit, I never came across Frankies in all my visits to Mumbai, but stumbled on a recipe and gave it a bash.
A bit like the filling you get in veg samosa, fried up and wrapped in roti. I had some chicken tikka handy and rustled up onion & peas pulao courtesy of Chetna’s mum. Delicious.
The Frankie potato patty thing is also fantastic reheated with a fried egg on top for breakfast.

The Frankie recipe is in my Mumbai Modern book, so here goes:
Frankie Masala
4 tsp kashmiri chilli powder
2 tsp ground turmeric
2 tsp ground coriander
2 tsp ground cumin
2 tsp salt
1 tsp ground black pepper
2 tsp garam masala
1 tsp mango powder
Mix all the above to blend.
Frankie Patties
1 lb potatoes, peeled and chopped
1 carrot chopped
1/3 cup frozen peas
2 TBSP oil
3 cloves garlic - grated
2 inch ginger - grated
3 TBS Frankie Masala
2 TBSP tomato ketchup
1/4 cup chopped fresh coriander
1/2 tsp lemon juice
Cook the potatoes, carrot and peas in boiling water till done. About 20 mins or so. Drain and allow to cool then mash.
Heat oil in frying pan. Add the ginger and garlic, saute 30 secs or so.
Add Frankie Masala, salt to taste and ketchup. Fry 1 minute.
Add the mashed veg to the pan and fry 5-6 mins. It's a bit dry so keep it moving.
Add the lemon juice and fresh coriander. Mix it all together then off the heat and allow to cool.
With a little oil on your hands, form into 4 equally sized long patties - about 5.5" x 2" rectangle. See my orig. pic
In the same pan, heat oil and fry the patties till nicely browned, about 3 mins each side. (I brushed with a little ghee)
Topping of leek & red onion
1 leek, cut in half lengthwise and sliced thin
1/2 small red onion, thinly sliced
1/4 tsp salt
Heat 2 TBSP oil in small pan then add leek, onion and salt. Saute about 8 mins, slightly browned.
Final Assembly
Add 1 TBSP butter to fry pan. Add a roti or flour tortilla and cook 30 secs then flip.
Add a Frankie patty while the second side cooks. Top with the leeks.
Garnish with coriander and fresh red onion.
Sprinkle a little Frankie masala then fold the sides of the roti / tortilla to seal and flip it over for final 20 secs.
Great with a dip into fresh coriander chutney and garlic pickle.
See my pic.
There are tons of recipes for this street food. I'm going to try a breakfast version with egg soon.
And as previously mentioned, the patty reheated with a fried egg on top is wonderful.
Enjoy
