STEP WISE PICTORIAL RECIPE OF VEGAN PINEAPPLE RED LENTIL FRANKIE ROLLS

BOILING OF RED LENTILS 

Rinse lentils thoroughly 2–3 times. Take water in a pan. Add red lentils. Initially keep the heat high. When dal begins to boil, lower the heat so that dal keeps on boiling. There will be a white foam over the surface of water. Remove that. Cook until dal turns soft and mushy. If still there’s some water left, turn the heat to high and let water dry completely. Lentils are cooked. Set aside.

PREPARATION OF FILLING 

Heat oil in a pan. Add cumin seeds, mustard seeds, curry leaves, ginger, green chili and dry red chilli. Let the seeds crackle. Add onion, turmeric, garam masala, black pepper powder and salt.  Saute until onion turns soft. Add cooked lentils and coconut milk. Stir and cook for 2–3 minutes until the mixture thickens. Add mint leaves and mix well. Add pineapple chunks and mint leaves . Gently fold in and cook only for 2-3 minutes. Don’t let the crunch of pineapple go. Mix well, and let the filling cool slightly.

ASSEMBLE THE FRANKIE 

Place a tortilla/roti on a flat surface. Apply a thin layer of green chutney, leaving some space around the edges. Place 3-4 tablespoons of the prepared filling in a horizontal line. Add a layer of sliced onions, cabbage and cucumber. Sprinkle a little chaat masala, roasted cumin seeds powder and add a few drops of lemon juice for a fresh tang. Roll the Frankie roll. Place the roll on a hot oiled pan. Keep the folded/seam side facing down first. Toast lightly with a little oil until slightly crisp from both sides.

Serve hot, wrapped in butter paper or foil for a street-style presentation.

NOTES

1. Add pineapple at the end and keep the filling thick to avoid soggy Frankies.
2. If on gluten free diet, you can use quinoa tortilla or oats roti or any other tortilla made with gluten free flour.
