Frankie- Bombay Street Food

Hello friends.

Frankies are a typical Bombay Street Food. It is loved by the young and old alike. Frankies can be made with mutton or chicken, for vegetarians it can be made with cottage cheese (paneer) or potato.

The main speciality of frankies is its flavor which is ‘chatpata’ as known in Bombay, which means it is a little spicy and a little sour at the same time. The combination of these flavors gives the frankies their special taste.
