Overall, Frankie is a modern food not older than the 19^th century.

How to knead the dough for kathi rolls:

Uncovered the dough and knead it for few seconds. Divide the dough into 8-10 equal parts. I am going to make medium size veg Frankie but if you want to make it big in size then you can divide the dough into 5-6 equal parts, it all depends upon the size you want to make.
Dust the rolling surface with some dry flour and put one part of the dough and dust it with dry flour and gently roll it evenly to make thin roti. You may use some dry flour while rolling the roti but do not add too much otherwise roti will become hard. To makes frankie always make thin roti, do not make thick roti.
Heat non-stick pan, once the pan becomes hot place one roti on a hot pan and cook it on medium high flame. Wait for 2 minutes or until the bubbles starts appearing on the upper surface of the roti. Flip the roti, press it down with spatula and apply some butter or you can use oil and cook from both the sides until golden spots appeared. You can also make roti without applying butter or oil.
Once cooked take out from the pan and repeat the same process for rest of the roti.
