There was a snack shop that made really delicious rolls who would Customize my roll as I didn\u2019t eat too spicy and I loved that.<\/p>\n<p>You may ask what is a Frankie or kathi roll, well it\u2019s a flatbread, chapati or paratha ( pan fried chapati) with a thin layer of egg, then stuffed with a spicy curry- chicken\/ lamb\/ paneer cheese or veggie, a few pickled onions, green mint chutney and rolled up into a roll like a burrito.<\/p>\n<p>I made this lot for weekend supper a few years back and then for some reason I stopped, my daughter reminded me I should make it again so here it is.<\/p>\n<p>I tweaked the recipe to make it lighter and cleaner, so this is my version. I added a few salad leaves for crunch and freshness. Sometimes I roast a whole bunch of veggies and use that as stuffing. This recipe is made with spicy chickpeas, smashed sweet potatoes, lots of chopped romaine, picked onions and the mint chutney to tie it all up.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.nutrilious.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/69207AC4-FA3F-4E97-A79D-12195A7945C1.jpeg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"4279\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.nourishdeliciously.com\/?attachment_id=4279\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.nourishdeliciously.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/69207AC4-FA3F-4E97-A79D-12195A7945C1.jpeg?fit=1664%2C2504&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1664,2504\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;7.1&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;NIKON D750&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1518022006&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;105&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;100&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0.2&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"69207AC4-FA3F-4E97-A79D-12195A7945C1\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.nourishdeliciously.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/69207AC4-FA3F-4E97-A79D-12195A7945C1.jpeg?fit=680%2C1024&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"alignleft size-large wp-image-4279\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.nutrilious.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/69207AC4-FA3F-4E97-A79D-12195A7945C1-680x1024.jpeg?resize=680%2C1024\" alt=\"\" width=\"680\" height=\"1024\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.nourishdeliciously.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/69207AC4-FA3F-4E97-A79D-12195A7945C1.jpeg?resize=680%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 680w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.nourishdeliciously.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/69207AC4-FA3F-4E97-A79D-12195A7945C1.jpeg?resize=199%2C300&amp;ssl=1 199w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.nourishdeliciously.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/69207AC4-FA3F-4E97-A79D-12195A7945C1.jpeg?resize=768%2C1156&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.nourishdeliciously.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/69207AC4-FA3F-4E97-A79D-12195A7945C1.jpeg?w=1664&amp;ssl=1 1664w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 680px) 100vw, 680px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.nutrilious.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/EB5183B7-199F-457A-B01F-8289354BAE25.jpeg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-4280 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.nutrilious.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/EB5183B7-199F-457A-B01F-8289354BAE25-625x1024.jpeg?resize=625%2C1024\" alt=\"\" width=\"625\" height=\"1024\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Heres the recipe.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>2-3 whole-wheat lavash\/ chapati\/ whole-wheat tortilla burrito sized<\/li>\n<li>1 cup about 12 oz cooked sweet potato, mashed and seasoned with salt, pepper and a little cumin powder.<\/li>\n<li>4 cups romaine leaves or baby spinach, washed and spin dried<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><b><u>For the chickpeas<\/u><\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>1 cup chickpeas soaked over night, cooked and drained or use about a can and a half of chickpeas, rinsed and drained well<\/li>\n<li>1-2 tablespoons olive oil<\/li>\n<li>1 fat inch piece ginger grated<\/li>\n<li>1 \u00bd teaspoons kosher salt<\/li>\n<li>1 tablespoon ground coriander<\/li>\n<li>1 tablespoon ground cumin<\/li>\n<li>generous pinch hot chili powder<\/li>\n<li>1\/2 teaspoon Garam masala<\/li>\n<li>juice from 1\/2 a Lemon<\/li>\n<li>1\/2 teaspoon whole fennel seeds<\/li>\n<li>1\/2 teaspoon cumin seeds<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>in a large sauce pan warm the oil.
