Join me as we explore how to recreate this street-style Chicken Frankie at home, perfect for a snack or a full meal!

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

1. In a large bowl, combine yogurt, ginger-garlic paste, red chili powder, turmeric powder, garam masala, lemon juice, and salt.
2. 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

1. Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a pan over medium heat.
2. Add the marinated chicken and cook until it’s golden brown and cooked through, approximately 8-10 minutes. Stir occasionally to ensure even cooking.
3. Once done, remove from heat and set aside.

Step 3: Prepare the Frankies

1. In a separate pan, heat additional oil (1 tablespoon) and lightly toast each paratha or roti until golden and crisp on both sides.
2. 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.
3. 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

1. 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.
2. 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.
