Bread Roll

Ingredients

10-12 slices of bread (White or Brown according to your taste)

4-5 Boiled Potatos

1/4 tsp Red Chilli powder

1/4 tsp Garam Masala

1/4 tsp Grated Ginger

2 Green Chillies (cut them finely)

Coriander leaves

Salt to taste

Oil to deep fry

Water

Method

1) Peel and mash the boiled potatoes in a bowl nicely. Now add all the spices like salt, red chilli powder, Garam masala, green chillies, ginger, and coriander leaves.

2) Now mix all the ingredients nicely to prepare a nice spicy filling. Adjust spices according to your liking.

3) Now cut all the bread slices in two pieces. Cut each slice from between so all are of equal sizes. Now you have in total 20 slices (if you have takes 10 slice initially).

4) Put oil in a kadai and keep it on flame to heat up.

5) Now take some water in another bowl. 

6) Take one slice that you have just cut and dip it into the water. Immediately take it off and keep it on your palm and drain out its water by pressing it nicely. (Keep the slice straight. Do not fold it)

7) Now take very little of that potato filling that we had prepared in the first step and keep it on one side of the wet slice and try to roll it nicely.

8) The trick is as soon as you drain out water from the slice in 6 step keep the slice in your hand and take the filling. Put it at the center and roll from both sides. Now using both hands prepare a nice roller of egg shape.

9) Similarly, prepare the rollers of each slice in the same way.

10) Now as soon as your oil gets heat up nicely, put the flame on medium and put 4-5 rollers at one time in your kadai (pan). 

11) If your pan in big enough you can even put more pieces together to get fried at one go. And if your pan is small then adjust the pieces according to your utensil size.

12) Once you put the pieces in kadai wait for at least 2-3 minutes then turn them slowly. Now cook them until they become golden brown uniformly from all the sides.

13) Server them hot with green chutney or tomato sauce or tamarind chutney along with a cup of tea. You can even use combination of chutneys as your choice.
