This recipe will guide you through making perfectly crispy bread rolls with a savory potato filling that will tantalize your taste buds.
Ingredients:
- 8 slices of white or whole wheat bread
- 3 medium-sized boiled potatoes (mashed)
- 1 small onion (finely chopped)
- 1 green chili (finely chopped, optional)
- 1 teaspoon ginger paste
- ½ teaspoon cumin seeds
- ½ teaspoon turmeric powder
- ½ teaspoon red chili powder
- ½ teaspoon garam masala
- 1 teaspoon chaat masala (optional)
- 2 tablespoons fresh coriander leaves (chopped)
- Salt to taste
- Water for sealing the bread edges
- Oil for deep frying
Instructions:
- Heat a pan on medium flame and add a tablespoon of oil.
- Add cumin seeds and let them splutter. Then, add finely chopped onion and sauté until golden brown.
- Add ginger paste and green chili, and sauté for a minute until the raw aroma disappears.
- Mix in the mashed potatoes, turmeric powder, red chili powder, garam masala, and salt. Cook for 2-3 minutes while stirring continuously.
- Add chaat masala (if using) and chopped coriander leaves. Mix well and remove from heat. Let the mixture cool completely.
- Take a slice of bread and trim the edges. Dip it briefly in water and squeeze out the excess water by pressing it gently between your palms. Be careful not to tear the bread.
- Place a small portion of the prepared potato mixture in the center of the bread slice.
- Carefully fold the bread around the filling to form an oval or cylindrical shape. Press and seal the edges tightly to ensure the filling doesn’t spill out during frying. Repeat the process for all slices.
- Heat oil in a deep frying pan over medium heat. To check if the oil is ready, drop a small piece of bread into the oil; if it sizzles and rises to the surface, the oil is ready.
- Gently slide 2-3 prepared bread rolls into the hot oil. Fry them until golden brown and crispy, turning occasionally to ensure even cooking.
- Remove the fried bread rolls using a slotted spoon and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess oil.
- Repeat the frying process for the remaining bread rolls.
- Serve the crispy bread rolls hot with tomato ketchup, mint chutney, or any dip of your choice.
Tips:
- For a healthier version, you can bake or air-fry the bread rolls instead of deep frying.
- You can customize the filling by adding boiled vegetables, paneer, or cheese for extra flavor.
- Ensure the bread edges are sealed tightly to prevent oil from seeping into the rolls while frying.
Enjoy these crispy bread rolls as a delightful snack with your favorite beverage!
