Ingredients:
- 6 slices of white bread (or whole wheat for a healthier option)
- 1 cup boiled mashed potatoes
- 1/2 cup boiled and finely chopped mixed vegetables (carrot, peas, beans)
- 1 tablespoon finely chopped onions
- 1 teaspoon ginger-garlic paste
- 1/2 teaspoon red chili powder
- 1/2 teaspoon garam masala
- 1/2 teaspoon cumin powder
- Salt to taste
- 1/4 teaspoon turmeric powder
- Fresh coriander leaves, finely chopped (optional)
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1/2 cup breadcrumbs (for coating)
- Oil for deep frying
- 1 tablespoon butter (optional)
Instructions:
- Begin by preparing the filling. Heat a little oil in a pan over medium heat. Add finely chopped onions and sauté until they become soft and translucent.
- Stir in the ginger-garlic paste and sauté for another minute until the raw smell disappears.
- Add the chopped mixed vegetables to the pan and cook for a few minutes. Ensure that the veggies are cooked but still firm.
- Add the boiled and mashed potatoes to the pan. Mix well to combine all ingredients.
- Season the filling with red chili powder, garam masala, cumin powder, turmeric powder, and salt. Stir everything together until the spices are well incorporated.
- Add the lemon juice and fresh coriander leaves, then give it a final stir. Let the filling cool for a few minutes.
- While the filling is cooling, trim the edges off each bread slice using a knife.
- Lightly toast each slice of bread for a few seconds, just enough to make them pliable for rolling.
- Gently flatten each bread slice using a rolling pin to remove any excess air.
- Place a small amount of the prepared filling in the center of each bread slice. Carefully roll up the bread slice into a cylinder, sealing the edges to ensure the filling doesn’t spill out.
- Roll the bread roll in breadcrumbs, coating it evenly for a crispy texture once fried.
- Heat oil in a deep frying pan over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, carefully slide the bread rolls into the oil and fry them until golden brown and crisp on all sides. Make sure to turn them occasionally to ensure even cooking.
- Once fried, remove the bread rolls from the oil and place them on a paper towel to drain any excess oil.
- Optionally, you can sauté the bread rolls in butter for extra richness and flavor before serving.
- Serve hot with a side of your favorite chutney or sauce for dipping, and enjoy these delicious, crispy bread rolls with family and friends!
