Yet another street food from India! Frankie very famous vegetarian street food. It is similar to kathi roll or I would say veggie wraps! So many good veggies are in this dish along with spicy green and red chutney. This dish is a perfect combination of great flavors and perfect textured food!
When you look at the Veg Frankie recipe you might think it is there is all to do at once. And I agree, that is why I put this dish in prep ahead category. You make everything I mentioned in the recipe below ahead of time. When you are ready to eat you just warm the kebabs up in a toaster oven and assemble it together! Now does that sound a quick meal?!?! It does to me!

Instructions
Prepare Frankie Masala
- Mix all frankie masala ingredients together and keep it aside. This stores well in an air tight container for 3-4 months at room temperature or up to 6 months in the refrigerator. It can be used on wraps and sandwiches also!

Prepare Red Garlic Chutney

Prepare Flavored Crunchy Coleslaw
- Mix all flavored crunchy coleslaw ingredients together and keep it in the fridge or aside if using it right-away.
Prepare Veg Kebabs
- Place all kebab ingredients in a big bowl.
- Mix all veg kabab ingredients together to make a somewhat firm kebab mixture, firm enough to shape kababs that won't break while cooking!
- Make medium size kababs and cook it on the pan with some oil on both sides until golden brown.
- It is best to make these kebabs right after you make the mixture. If you keep the mixture for too long, it starts to loose water from the veggies and will not form into kebab shapes. If it starts becoming loose, adding some bread crumbs will help!
- Once all kebabs are cooked on a pan, place them on a baking sheet and bake it on 350°F for 30-40 minutes.
- Once they are done baking, they are ready to use! These kebabs can be made ahead of time. You can store pre-made kebabs in the fridge for up to 3 days. When you are ready to make frankie, just toast them in the toaster oven for few minutes to warm it up!
