Replace the chicken with 400g of crumbled paneer or boiled and mashed potatoes mixed with peas. Sauté the paneer or potato mixture with the same spices.
Add 1-2 finely chopped green chilies along with the ginger-garlic paste for an extra kick of heat.

Chicken Frankie is a complete meal on its own. However, it pairs well with a side of mint-coriander chutney or a simple green salad.
It's best to store the filling and rotis separately in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Assemble the Frankie just before eating for the best texture. Reheat the filling and roti before assembly.
