Ingredients:
- 8 slices of fresh white or brown bread
- 2 medium-sized boiled potatoes (mashed)
- 1/2 cup mixed vegetables (carrots, peas, and corn)
- 1 small onion (finely chopped)
- 1 green chili (finely chopped)
- 1/4 teaspoon red chili powder
- 1/4 teaspoon turmeric powder
- 1/2 teaspoon garam masala
- 1/2 teaspoon cumin seeds
- Salt to taste
- 1 tablespoon chopped coriander leaves
- 2 tablespoons oil (for cooking the filling)
- Water (to moisten bread)
- Oil for deep frying
Instructions:
- Prepare the Filling:
- Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a pan on medium heat.
- Add cumin seeds and let them splutter.
- Add finely chopped onions and green chilies. Sauté until the onions turn translucent.
- Add the mixed vegetables and cook for 3–4 minutes until softened.
- Mix in the mashed potatoes, red chili powder, turmeric powder, garam masala, and salt.
- Stir well to combine all ingredients.
- Turn off the heat and sprinkle chopped coriander leaves. Set the filling aside to cool.
- Prepare the Bread:
- Take a slice of bread and trim off the edges using a knife.
- Dip the bread slice lightly in water and squeeze gently to remove excess moisture. Be careful not to tear the bread.
- Assemble the Bread Roll:
- Place a small amount of the prepared filling in the center of the moistened bread slice.
- Fold the edges of the bread over the filling and shape it into a smooth, oval roll.
- Press gently to seal the edges, ensuring the filling doesn’t spill out. Repeat the process for all bread slices.
- Fry the Bread Rolls:
- Heat oil in a deep frying pan over medium heat.
- Test the oil by dropping a small piece of bread into it; if it sizzles and rises, the oil is ready.
- Carefully slide the bread rolls into the hot oil, a few at a time.
- Fry them until they turn golden brown and crispy on all sides.
- Remove the rolls using a slotted spoon and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess oil.
- Serve:
- Serve the crispy bread rolls hot with ketchup, mint chutney, or tamarind chutney.
