Ingredients
For the Chicken Marinade:
- 500g boneless chicken, cut into small pieces
- 1/2 cup yogurt
- 1 tablespoon ginger-garlic paste
- 1 tablespoon red chili powder
- 1 teaspoon turmeric powder
- 1 teaspoon garam masala
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- Salt to taste
For the Frankie:
- 4 large parathas or rotis (store-bought or homemade)
- 1 large onion, thinly sliced
- 1 large tomato, finely chopped
- 1 cucumber, julienned
- 2-3 green chilies, finely chopped (optional)
- 1/4 cup chopped cilantro
- 2-3 tablespoons oil for cooking
For the Sauce:
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon green chutney
- 1 tablespoon ketchup
- Optional: Squeeze of lemon
Instructions
Step 1: Marinate the Chicken
- In a large bowl, combine yogurt, ginger-garlic paste, red chili powder, turmeric powder, garam masala, lemon juice, and salt.
- Add the chicken pieces to the marinade, ensuring they are well-coated. Cover the bowl and let it marinate for at least 30 minutes, or preferably overnight in the refrigerator for deeper flavors.
Step 2: Cook the Chicken
- Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a pan over medium heat.
- Add the marinated chicken and cook until it’s golden brown and cooked through, approximately 8-10 minutes. Stir occasionally to ensure even cooking.
- Once done, remove from heat and set aside.
Step 3: Prepare the Frankies
- In a separate pan, heat additional oil (1 tablespoon) and lightly toast each paratha or roti until golden and crisp on both sides.
- On each paratha, spread a layer of the prepared sauce (mayonnaise, green chutney, and ketchup). Adjust the spiciness by adding green chilies according to your preference.
- Place a generous portion of the cooked chicken in the center, followed by sliced onions, tomatoes, cucumbers, and a sprinkle of cilantro.
Step 4: Roll and Serve
- Roll the paratha tightly around the filling. You can optionally wrap it in parchment paper or foil to hold its shape and keep it warm.
- Serve hot with extra green chutney or your favorite dipping sauce.
Tips for a Perfect Chicken Frankie
- Customize Your Filling: Feel free to add other vegetables like bell peppers or lettuce for more crunch.
- Make It Spicy: Adjust the quantity of green chilies to make it as spicy as you like or add a dash of your favorite hot sauce.
- Vegetarian Option: Substitute chicken with paneer or mixed vegetables marinated in the same spices for a delightful vegetarian Frankie.
