Method

For the Paratha

  1. 1

    Prepare the Dough

    In a large bowl, mix the whole wheat flour and salt. Gradually add water and knead until you have a soft and pliable dough. Cover with a damp cloth and let rest for 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Roll the Paratha

    Divide the dough into equal portions. Roll each portion into a thin circle. Heat a skillet over medium heat and cook each paratha for about 2-3 minutes on each side, brushing with a little oil until golden brown. Keep warm.

For the Tamarind BBQ Sauce

  1. 3

    Make the Sauce

    In a saucepan, combine tamarind paste, brown sugar, soy sauce, smoked paprika, garlic powder, and water. Bring to a simmer and cook for 5-7 minutes until slightly thickened. Set aside.

For the Pickled Red Onion

  1. 4

    Pickle the Onion

    In a bowl, mix the sliced red onion, apple cider vinegar, sugar, and salt. Let sit for at least 30 minutes for the flavors to meld.

For the Slaw

  1. 5

    Prepare the Slaw

    In a mixing bowl, combine shredded cabbage, grated carrot, chopped cilantro, lime juice, and salt. Toss well and set aside.

For the Jackfruit Filling

  1. 6

    Cook the Jackfruit

    In a skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Add diced onion and minced garlic, cooking until softened. Add shredded jackfruit, cumin powder, chili powder, and salt. Cook for 10-15 minutes until jackfruit is tender and flavors are combined.

Assembling the Frankie Roll

  1. 7

    Assemble the Rolls

    Take a warm paratha, spread some tamarind BBQ sauce on top, add a portion of the jackfruit filling, a handful of slaw, and a few slices of pickled red onion. Roll tightly and serve immediately.
