Thanks for sharing this receipe. very easy to make and appreciated at home.
It was a delicious recipe...my kids had it to their heartfull....n a great snack for school too.
This frankie is just so yum.. It tastes exactly like we get roadside in mumbai..These deep fried rolls changes the taste totally as the cheese in it melts and also other spices blend into each other.. Instead of putting the filling directly, you can try this new way of deep frying it..
