kathi roll

Kathi roll / Frankie

I first tasted Frankie in Hyderabad long time ago. I loved it. It had become my favourite after-office snack item. I tried different variations then. Recently, I read in an article that Kathi Roll is very popular in Calcutta. It’s a good lunchbox-recipe during winters. Ideal for to-go / take-away snacks. Even though the list of ingredients is a bit long, the recipe takes short time.I prepare the dough first and then while its resting I cook the filling.

You can wrap the roll in a foil and avoid using plate (saves cleaning chore!)

Happy Winter Holidays !!
