Method

  • Method for the vegetables: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Toss the zucchini and the yellow squash with 1 tablespoon of the oil, salt, and pepper and roast until tender, about 10 to 15 minutes.
  • In a large rondeau, add 2 more tablespoons of the canola oil and heat over medium heat for 2 minutes.
  • Add the cumin and cook for 2 more minutes.
  • Add the onions and continue to cook until lightly caramelized, about 5 minutes.
  • Next, add the garlic, ginger, and turmeric and cook for 3 more minutes.
  • Season well and cool the onions down.
  • Combine the onions with the rest of the cooked vegetables and mix well.
  • Reserve.
  • For the Frankie: Heat the mixed vegetables in a saute pan until warm.
  • In a large saute pan heat a very small amount of oil.
  • Add the tortilla and a ladle of the beaten eggs.
  • Lift the tortilla up so that the eggs are underneath the tortilla.
  • Once the eggs on that side are cooked (1 minute), flip the tortilla and cook the eggs on the other side.
  • Remove the tortilla from the pan onto a tray.
  • Repeat with the remaining tortillas and eggs.
  • Place the vegetables on top and season with salt, chaat masala and pepper.
  • Place a few sprigs of mint and cilantro on top of the vegetables.
  • Add a few chilies and cover with the chutney.
  • Roll and slice in half.
  • Serve with sliced red onions.
