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.

Indian spices like turmeric, cumin, and coriander are not just for flavor; they contain antioxidants and compounds that have anti-inflammatory properties.
A single homemade Chicken Frankie contains approximately 450-550 calories, depending on the amount of oil used and the size of the roti and filling.

Yes, you can prepare the partially cooked rotis (without the egg) ahead of time. Store them in an airtight container or zip-lock bag. When ready to serve, simply proceed with the egg-coating and assembly steps.
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.
