TIBBS FRANKIE
Kolkata has kathi rolls, Mumbai has Frankies. I will take on a frankie vs kathi roll argument any day, but I will also happily eat both!
Meat or paneer or veggies that are specifically spiced and cooked, then rolled in a paratha that’s coated with egg on one side, plus minced onions, green chillies, and a final sprinkling of “Frankie masala”-- which is similar to chaat masala, but not the same.
The original Frankie is now called “Classic” and is a bit saucy. Now there are a few other types – Szechuan, Tawa, and Tikka. Proteins are cicken, mutton (goat), paneer, and veggies. It’s also possible to get just the egg paratha with spices, and that’s delicious too.
I always default to Classic, because it’s the nostalgic flavor profile I crave. Others had Tawa and Szechuan. I got a Tikka as my second roll, but wasn’t hungry enough for two tonight.
