Trivia

[Hardcore] Similar to Kolkata's 'Kathi Roll', but Mumbai-born 'Frankie' maximizes characteristic of determining flavor solely with 'green chili vinegar acidity' and 'magic powder (Frankie Masala)' dry flavor without sauces like ketchup/mayo. Variations changing fillings to chicken/Paneer abound, but basic Veg (potato) is most popular.

Eating tips & etiquette

[Unique Eating] Sliding paper wrapper down bit by bit, get Frankie Masala powder around mouth while biting off sour onions and fluffy potatoes together!
