Does this frankie or any other frankie can stay till lunch time if given in lunch box? Chapatti will b soften & wont b eatable. My daughter loves frankie, but cannot give in breakfast (10 am) & lunch (12.30pm) Pls pls suggest that how to make frankie that will not get soggy
Wow so easy.I really needed something like this
A quick tiffin treat for kids. My kids loved the concept of frankies and this too was just yum for them.
Easy and healthy...although I think it would have been better to use at least grilled or blanched capsicum...can also add boiled sweet corn and spring onions with some soy and chilli sauce to have a Chinese twist
