EGG & PANEER FRANKIE

Take 1 cup of  wheat flour and add some salt & water, knead it into a soft dough. Cover it with wet cloth and keep it aside.  Normally frankies can be made with all purpose flour, but I prefer wheat flour. Making frankies with wheat flour is healthy.

For stuffing  :

Take kadai and add 2tsps of oil and add finely chopped ginger & garlic pieces. Then add finely chopped onions, green chillies, little salt  & turmeric. Sought out them until it gets colour. Add tomato pieces, red chilli powder, coriander powder, cumin powder and add little water and stir it well. Cook it for 4 mnts. Then add paneer cubes or chopped paneer pieces to it and mix well. Add finely chopped coriander leaves and mix it.

Making Frankies :

Take the dough and knead it again and make small sized balls and roll it into a thin sheet.   Take tava and place a roti on tava and cook on a medium flame until both sides turn light brown colour using 1tsp of oil or butter. Take a egg and whisk it and add little salt to egg and pour on the roll and spread it.

 Turn the other side also, fry it a minute and remove from tava.

Take the roll on a plate and place the stuffing on one end of the roti and spread evenly. Add  onion slices, tomato slices, Crushed cheese or small cheese pieces.

Fold the edges and roll the Frankie and serve it hot.
