Frankie??!!

I never expected that I would end up eating a FRANKIE...!

Being the first day of induction at HCL... it was a tiresome day. Submitting documents, getting documents verified, attending policy explaining sessions, intranet portal walkthrough sessions... My god...! The sessions were too exhaustive and ripping me of my energy...

After completing the sessions and my joining process, I made my debut to the “Cafeteria”.

It was a two floor food court. Though not as big as Infy’s Food Court, the counters in the cafeteria were interesting – Madurai Appu restaurant, Muffin parlour, Ratna cafe, Pitstop, Curry & Noodles and... A FRANKIE corner...!!??!!

I had tasted a Frankie long back in my college days. Whenever I visited Nilgiris with my hostel friends, we all used to feast on Frankies with Lemon Iced Tea. When I was lost in my memories, the Frankie smell got me back into state. I smiled at the vendor and ordered a Panneer Tikka Frankie.

I munched on it, actually ate it piece by piece and relished it. It was hot, fresh, yummy, spicy and tasty...!



For Frankie lovers, this is the home-made Frankie Recipe:

1) Make wheat-maida (80:20) dough with water, oil, a pinch of salt and set it aside for an hour.
2) Chop onion, tomato. Deep fry them in oil. Add salt, pepper powder, chilli powder, garam malasa, coriander and leave it on low flame till they roast to golden colour. Add asafoetida and garnish with coriander and ghee. Set the gravy aside.
3) Make chapathis with the dough.
4) Add oil to the tawa and roast both sides of the chapathi to golden colour.
5) Spread ghee on top of the chapathi. Spread the Tomato-Onion gravy on the chapathi.
6) Sprinkle Chaat Masala on the chapathi and roll it.
7) Place the rolls on the Tawa and sprinkle water.
8) Cover the rolls with the Tawa-Cover and leave it on low flame for 1-2 minutes.
9) Then remove the rolls and serve them with sauce.

Hope you guys enjoy the FRANKIE..!!
