Bread Rolls

Way back in January we went to Lil Angel’s School for her interview. That was a very tense morning for me. I was worried what questions they would ask her and was wondering if she would answer them correctly. Only  after the interview process was over learnt she had secured a seat in kinder-garden,did I relax.

Then my tummy reminded me with a growl that I had not cared for it since morning. In a hurry to go to school, I literally forgot to have breakfast. So off we went to the school canteen. We were greeted by the snacks on display and I gladly went in for these bread rolls and Lil Angel followed suit. She loved them and I promised myself to prepare these for her.Later we came home and celebrated with a Healthy Oats Cake

Though I prepare these at least once a month, they get their recognition on the blog just today.

I used:

Bread slices – as required [1 slice per bread roll].
Potato – 2 , peeled boiled and coarsely mashed
Onion- 1, chopped
Chilli powder – 1 teaspoon
Mustard seeds- 1 teaspoon
Cumin seeds – 1 teaspoon
Salt to taste
Oil to deep fry

1. In a pan, heat 2 teaspoons oil and put in mustard and cumin seeds
2. When they crackle, add the onion and saute till it turns translucent.
3. Put in the boiled and mashed potato, chilli powder and salt. Mix well to combine.Cook for a couple of minutes and keep aside.
4. Heat oil for deep frying.
5. Take a bread slice and dip it in water for a couple of seconds.
6. Place the slice in between the palms of your hands and press out the water. See that it retains the shape.
7. Place a roll of the filling in the center and close the bread slice to cover the filling.
8. Repeat for the other slices.
9. Once the oil is hot, turn it to medium heat and gently drop the bread rolls into the oil.
10. Fry till golden brown [in batches]
11. Drain on absorbent paper.

Note:

• You can also add a pinch of turmeric powder in step 3.
• Any vegetable filling can be used. Even left over dry vegetable curries can be used as a filling.
• These rolls can also be baked instead of deep frying them.
• Fresh  / leftover bread can be used.
