Veg Frankie !

I am gonna tell you a very simple breakfast/snack recipe. Many a times we order pizza and they provide us with chilly flakes/oregano packs which are too much and usually and we throw them out. Don't ! You can make delicious Frankie with this and some left over chapatis, any vegetables of your choice.

Ingredients:
1 big onion
1 cup of vegetables diced long vertically
(capsicum, carrot,cabbage)
2 origano packs
2 chilly flakes
 cheese spread
soya sauce, tomato sauce, chilly sauce
salt

As a first step, in one pan we will keep vertically sliced onions to caramelize.(i.e. fry them till they start turning brown)

Secondly add oil to heated pan, and fry all vegetables. Close the lid for 5 min , that cooks them faster. Add chilly flakes, 1 tbsp of soya sauce, 1tbsp of chilly sauce and 2 tbsp of tomato sauce, and a pinch of salt.Fry it for sometime and keep aside.

Now take a chapati , place it on a heated tava, apply cheese spread in the center, sprinkle oregano. Now in the middle spread fried vegetables vertically , and also add caramelized onions.

Woaaah ! Believe me ! Its yummy :)
