Chef Tips:

1. Stuff the potatoes only at the time of serving only, do not serve already prepared frankies, as they becomes cold, tasteless and mushy.
2. At the time of serving you can apply little bit of butter and coriander chutney on the cooked roti, then stuff the potatoes mixture and then wrap, this is also the best way to serve.
3. I have used cheese cubes of the famous brand “Mother Dairy”, it’s because it is one of the most delicious cheese. You can use any of your favorite cheese in this frankie.
