Frankie, the popular street food of Bombay (still not able to get myself to call it Mumbai) is best when eaten hot off the tava. It is spicy and tangy at the same time. When cravings for street food hit you, why not try to create the same kinds of food at home? That is exactly what I did, cooked hot & spicy veg Frankie! Now there are various stuffings that you can cook up including paneer, the ever popular potato & the non-veg variety. It is important to season the stuffing well to get that street food taste ! 4 tortilla
2 potatoes boiled & chopped
1 onion chopped
1/4 cup peas (optional)
2 tbsp oil, 1/2 tsp jeera
Red chilli pwd, garam masala, lemon juice - all as per taste
Green chutney - Blend coriander leaves, green chilli, ginger, salt & lemon juice
Stuffing:
Heat oil, add jeera. Add onion & peas, fry till onion gets a few brown specks. Add chilli pwd, garam masala & turmeric. Add boiled potato & mix well. Switch off gas & add lemon juice.
Heat a griddle, add little oil & fry the tortilla & flip over. Now slather green chutney over it, add 2tbsp potato mix in a straight line so as to be able to fold the tortilla well. Add 1/2 tbsp onion mix. Add chilli pwd on top as per taste. Please add all spices as per your spice capacity & preference. Fold over and enjoy the famous street food of Bombay!

sia, you can make it with leftover simple alu subzi as well. Do add lots of seasoning though. it is very popular in Bombay, if you ever go there make sure to visit shivaji park for this yummy treat.
asha, yes it does look like kathi roll. it's a breeze to make with the tortilla available here. you can even serve it as appetizer for a party, just cut into attractive pieces & serve

thanks sharmi.
trupti, you can definitely hv it as a meal, it's pretty filling. tortilla is such a good base and one can stretch so many dishes out of it.
thanks

hi richa disha here ,
thanks for the receipie
what is tortilla nd can it be homemade ,if yes than pl tell me how???
hi Disha, tortilla is a Mexican wrap, basically it is a roti made out of maida & also corn. the one i've used is made out of maida/all purpose flour.
you can definitely make a roti out of maida and then use it instead of the tortilla. It is basically a readymade wrap which comes in handy for such dishes, hope i answered ur Q! lemme know if u need more info.
