4.  Oil your hand slightly and take a small portion of the dough and  roll it in
     between your palms in to a small ball (Ball should be
 according to the size
     of the wrap you prefer to make) 


5.   Now place the ball on the kitchen board or on a  chackla (Indian Roti rolling
      board)

6.   With the help of a rolling pin roll in to a 9” to 10” circle or preferred size, 
​      keep dusting as required.


7.  Now pick the wrap, pat in between your hands to shake off the excess flour.

9.  In less than ½ minute little bubble start appearing, turn the wrap over to the
      other side and cook for ½ minute then
 flip it back. If the wrap sticks to the
      griddle, it means it is not hot enough, if 
 it burn or get  to dark quickly it 
       means it is too hot, adjust the heat
 accordingly. Cook on medium high heat. ​

Turn the wrap to other side
10.  Sprinkle some oil over the top surface of the wrap and with the spatula
       spread evenly then turn the wrap to other side and spread oil, and cook. 

11.  Press the wrap gently with the turner in a circular motion, let it cook until
       both side become light brown, do not cook on low heat or cook longer that
       will make the wrap hard, wrap should be soft  this  will make wrap much
       easier  to fold. It takes  about 2 to 3 minutes to cook the wrap.

Beef Frankie (Beef wrap)
Tips:

1. 12 “whole wheat or all purpose flour tortilla could be used to make Beef 
     Frankie.

2.  If you prefer you could cook the beef in pressure cooker. Beef becomes very 
     tender if cooked in pressure cooker. 

3.  You can prepare these rolls well in advance, at serving time heat in a 
     microwave for a minute along with the paper napkin. These Beef wrap taste 
     great next day. 

4.   You can substitute Beef with chicken or mutton, you could also try this recipe
       with paneer filling. 

5.  You can cook the rotis (wrap) in advance without putting oil and keep them 
     covered in an aluminum foil or in a casserole. At serving time, reheat them 
     sprinkle some oil and cook for few minute then arrange filling and roll. 

6.    Roomali roti is also used for wrap.
