Mumbai’s hot selling fast food is Mumbai Potato Wraps Or Potato Kati Rolls Or Potato Frankie 🙂
Whatsoever you call them Mumbai Potato Wraps are one of my hot favorites which I love to binge on street stalls of Mumbai. A Frankie Or wrap is also known as Mumbai Burrito. Frankies Or Wraps in Mumbai are given an egg wash to the roti (flat bread). However I haven’t used any egg and this an eggless Wraps which I have clubbed with cheese + herbs + spices.
Now what is Kati Roll? kati Roll originated from Calcutta before spreading out in other regions. Kati rolls are flat bread mainly made from refined flour (maida) later it’s stuffed with chicken Or meat kebabs and then rolled. Same way vegetarian kati roll is prepared which is stuffed with potatoes Or cottage cheese etc….There are lot of variations you get to see in wraps Or rolls nowadays. Still confused never mind just eat them I bet it’s delicious 😉
I have added 1:1 proportion of whole wheat flour and refined flour to have some health factor. Also the Mumbai Potato Wraps were so yummy my hubby ate 6 of them and I ate 3 of them. Such is the magic of Mumbai Potato Wraps they are just too tempting 🙂 🙂
Wraps are good options for lunch box, quick meals for kids Or adults. Instead of potatoes you could add paneer, veggies, leafy vegetables Or boiled shredded chicken. Even kids love to eat wraps be it any kind. Also I have added green chutney which adds pore vitamins, color, flavor and taste to the wraps.
One of my readers had asked me to make chicken kati roll 3 months back. However this one is Mumbai Potato Wraps so you could add cooked minced chicken Or meat instead of veggies.
Total Time: 20 mins boiling potatoes + 10 mins kneading dough + 20 mins making rotis + 5 mins stuffing+ 5 mins for making green chutney = 60 mins
Notes:
- Add any toppings of your choice be it eggs, veggies Or non veg.
- Green chutney is optional however it gives a nice flavor to your wraps.
- It’s important you roll the rotis thin else it will not taste like wraps.
- You could use parsley, lettuce, rosemary, celery, coriander leaves any herbs you like.
- If you aren’t able to get a perfect round shape just place a round metal bowl and give some pressure to it. You will get round rotis.
