Instructions
 

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.

PREPRATION 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

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