ALOO CHEESE SCHEZWAN FRANKIE

Schezwan Frankie is a popular street food in Bombay. This tastes just yummy though it is a little spicy. This is one of those street foods that are not only cherished but loved by all. It tastes heavenly and the perfect snack for your starving tummy.

You can try many variations with frankie and add all the veggies which are usually not eaten but in they way of frankie wont be neglected.

I have tried this basic yet flavorful aloo cheese frankie and the recipe inspiration is Chef Sanjyot Keer. Adding some tomato ketchup in the filling is a really good idea , it enhances the taste.
