  • 1 tsp salt
  • 2 tbsp oil
  • Water to knead the dough
  • Oil to shallow fry roti
  • Meat ball mince (see recipe Potato Meat balls)
  • ¼ cup mint chutney
  • ½ cup shredded cabbage
  • ¼ cup chopped onions
  • 2 eggs , lightly beaten

  • ½ tsp dry mango powder

Directions & How to

  • Take both the flours in a large glass bowl; add salt and mix.
  • Rub in 2 tbsp oil and add enough water (about 2/3 cup) to knead soft dough. Cover and keep aside for 15 minutes.
  • Make 6 equal sized smooth balls. Press lightly into flour and roll out a ½ cm thick roti.  Place it on heated tawa and flip the side after 20-30 seconds and cook the other side for 30 seconds and remove it. Cover and keep aside for later use.
  • Shape the meat balls as per your wish and deep fry till golden and crisp.
  • Heat a non stick tawa and place the roti on it. Flip the side and brush eggs on it 2-3 times so that it forms a layer. Add ½ tsp oil on the tawa and fry till golden on both sides.
  • Transfer the roti onto a plate (the egg side facing up), place 3 meat balls in middle of the roti. Add cabbage, onion, green chutney and sprinkle 2 pinch frankie masala. Roll the roti tightly and cover half of it with aluminum foil.
  • Serve hot with tomato sauce.
  • Mix together all powder spices and keep in an airtight container. Use as and when required.
