Health Benefits of This Veg Frankie Recipe

This version of Veg Frankie is not only a flavorful snack but also provides multiple health benefits:

 1. Whole Wheat Roti = High Fiber

 4. Onion-Vinegar Marinade = Good for Gut

This fermented combo supports gut health and adds probiotics to your diet.

• You can prepare the marinade in advance and refrigerate it – it tastes even better after a few hours.

• For added protein, try adding paneer or tofu pieces along with the potato mix.
