1 teaspoon red chili powder
1 teaspoon turmeric powder
1 teaspoon garam masala
Salt to taste

For the Frankie Roti (Wrap):

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup whole wheat flour
Water, as needed
Salt to taste
Oil for cooking

For the Frankie Filling:

2 large onions, thinly sliced
1 large bell pepper, thinly sliced
1 cup cabbage, thinly shredded
1 cup carrot, julienned
1 tablespoon ginger-garlic paste
2 tomatoes, chopped
1 teaspoon cumin powder
1 teaspoon coriander powder
1 teaspoon red chili powder
Salt to taste
2 tablespoons oil


Instructions:

Marinating the Chicken:

In a bowl, mix yogurt, ginger-garlic paste, red chili powder, turmeric powder, garam masala, and salt.

Add sliced chicken to the marinade, ensuring each piece is well-coated.

Marinate for at least 1-2 hours or overnight for enhanced flavors.


Preparing the Frankie Roti:

Combine all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, salt, and enough water to form a soft dough.

Divide the dough into small balls and roll each into thin rotis.

Cook the rotis on a hot griddle, applying a little oil until they are golden brown and cooked through.


Cooking the Chicken:

Heat oil in a pan and add the marinated chicken.

Cook until the chicken is tender and the marinade forms a thick coating. Set aside.


Preparing the Filling:

In the same pan, add more oil if needed and sauté onions until golden brown.

Add ginger-garlic paste and cook until the raw smell disappears.

Stir in tomatoes, bell pepper, cabbage, and carrot. Cook until the vegetables are tender.

Add cumin powder, coriander powder, red chili powder, and salt. Mix well.

Add the cooked chicken to the vegetable mixture and toss until everything is well combined.


Assembling the Chicken Frankie:

Place a Frankie roti on a flat surface.

Spoon the chicken and vegetable filling onto the center of the roti.

Roll the roti, enclosing the filling tightly to form a wrap.

Secure the ends with foil or parchment paper to hold the wrap together.


Serving:

Serve the Chicken Frankie hot with mint chutney or your favorite sauce.
