        Notes

        • 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.
