If there’s one thing that satisfies hunger and spice cravings in one go, it’s a Frankie. Now imagine not just one, but a basket full of them—each bursting with flavor, wrapped in soft flatbread, and ready to fuel your day. That’s what my Frankie Basket is all about: variety, taste, and total satisfaction.
Why Everyone Loves a Frankie
Frankies are fast, flavorful, and fun. Inspired by the vibrant Indian street food scene, these wraps are filled with spicy veggies, paneer, chicken, or even scrambled eggs—seasoned to perfection and rolled into a warm roti or paratha.
They’re the perfect on-the-go meal, and in a basket, you get more than one flavor to enjoy!

It’s all about choice! A Frankie Basket can include:
- Paneer Masala Frankie – Soft, spicy, and loaded with grilled paneer
- Veggie Delight Frankie – Crunchy veggies, tangy sauces, total freshness
- Chicken Tikka Frankie – Juicy, marinated chicken with bold Indian spices

Served with mint chutney, garlic mayo, or spicy ketchup—it’s a complete flavor journey.
