Prepare the Potato Filling:
Cook the Aromatics and Spices:
Add 2 tbsp chopped onion and sauté until golden brown.
2 tbsp Onion
Stir in 2 tbsp ginger-garlic paste, 1/4 tsp turmeric powder, 1/4 tsp chili powder, 1/4 tsp coriander powder, and 1/2 tsp cumin powder.
½ tsp Ginger-Garlic Paste, ¼ tsp Turmeric Powder, ¼ tsp Chili Powder, ¼ tsp Coriander Powder
Cook for 1-2 minutes, allowing the spices to release their flavors.
Mix in Potatoes and Peas:
Add 2-3 tbsp green peas and 1 cup boiled mashed potatoes
2 tbsp Green Peas, 1 cup Potato
Add 2 tblsp of water to prevent burning
Mix thoroughly to combine with the spices.
Add 1 tbsp chopped coriander leaves and Season with 1/4 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp chat masala.
½ tsp Cumin Powder, 2 tbsp Water, ¼ tsp Chat Masala
Stir well and cook for 2-3 minutes until the filling is slightly dry.
Turn off the heat and Set aside to cool
Prepare the Bread:
Trim the edges of the 6-8 slices of white bread for a smoother roll.
1 tbsp Coriander Leaves
Using a rolling pin, flatten each bread slice.
Fill the Bread:
Place 1-2 tbsp of the potato filling in the center of each flattened bread slice.
Roll the bread gently, sealing the edges with a little water if necessary.
Repeat the process with the remaining bread slices and filling.
Deep Fry the Rolls:
Heat enough oil in a deep frying pan or deep fryer on medium-high heat.
8 slices white bread
Fry the rolls in batches until golden brown and crispy, about 3-5 minutes per batch.
Remove with a slotted spoon and place on paper towels to drain excess oil.
- Bread Selection: You can use whole wheat bread for a healthier option, but white bread tends to be softer and rolls easier.
- Peas: You can omit the peas or replace them with finely chopped vegetables like carrots for a variation.
- Make Ahead: You can prepare the rolls in advance and refrigerate them for up to 6 hours before frying.
- Frying Tip: Ensure the oil is hot enough (about 350°F or 175°C) before frying to get a crispy, non-greasy roll.
- Baking Alternative: For a healthier version, bake the rolls at 400°F (200°C) for 15-20 minutes, turning them halfway through for even browning.
