Schezwan cheese frankie is a chatpata Indo-Chinese version of wrap, where the parathas are loaded with a smooth mixture of cheese, veggies, and tongue-tickling schezwan sauce. Plus, it is easy to make this dish as you just have to prepare the veggies and tikki and your tantalizing frankie is ready. 

Who Invented Frankie? 

After his trip to Beirut, Amarjit Singh Tibb brought the frankie recipe to Mumbai. In 1969, Tibb brought the Indian version of the Lebanese Pita into existence. The hungry commuters passing by his restaurant relished the recipe. Since then, frankie has been people’s all-time favorite street snack.  

The crunch of lightly sauteed paratha, the golden hue of the crust, the crunchiness of the veggies, and the spiciness of the sauces will ensure that there is a blast of flavors in your mouth after every bite! 

Now, let’s see how you can make this tasteful schezwan cheese frankie easily at home.
