Cooking Tips

• You can add other vegetables like bell peppers or carrots to the potato filling for added flavor and texture.
• To make the roti softer, you can brush it with a little oil or ghee before toasting it on the griddle.
• If you prefer a spicier frankie, you can increase the amount of red chili powder or add some chopped green chilies to the potato filling.

Storage and Serving

• Aloo Frankie is best served hot and fresh.
• If you have leftover potato filling, you can refrigerate it in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
• To reheat the potato filling, simply heat it in a pan or microwave until warmed through.
• You can also freeze the potato filling for longer storage. Thaw it in the refrigerator before reheating.
• Serve the Aloo Frankie as a snack or a light meal. It pairs well with mint chutney, ketchup, or yogurt dip.
