Origin
While the Kathi roll has its roots in Calcutta, the Frankie was created in Mumbai. The phrases "frankie" and "kathi" are sometimes used interchangeably, despite the fact that they each have different wrap textures, fillings, and flavours.
After experiencing Lebanese shawarma in Beirut in 1967, the late Mr. Amarjit Singh Tibb was inspired to return to India and, with the assistance of his wife, created a mixture of curried vegetables and meats that could fill a wrap. The Tibb's Frankie, which was named after West Indies player Frank Worrell, was born in Mumbai in 1969. This traditional frankie quickly became well-known throughout India since it was stuffed with tender bits of mutton or chicken.
