Do try this super easy recipe and impress your family and kids.
Ingredient
Instructions:
1. First I have boiled 3 medium size potatoes. Now mash them uniformly to make fine potato mixture, small chunks are fine but we don’t want any big chunks of potatoes. Now potatoes are mashed so lets cook them to make aloo masala stuffing for bread roll.
2. For this take a pan on medium high heat, then add 1 tbsp oil. When oil gets medium hot add ½ tsp cumin seeds. When they turn brown, put heat to low and add 1 tbsp finely chopped green chillies, 1 tbsp crushed ginger and mix them for a few seconds. Now add ¼ cup boiled green peas and ½ tsp turmeric powder and cook them on low heat for 1 min so that turmeric and peas rawness goes away.
3. After around 1 min add boiled and mashed potatoes and spread them a little. Now add salt according to taste, I have used slightly more than 1/2 tsp salt, then add ½ tsp red chilli powder, 2 tsp coriander-cumin powder, ½ tsp garam masala powder and for tanginess around 2 tsp amchur powder, if you don’t have amchur powder you can also use 2 tsp lemon juice. And at last add some fresh chopped green coriander.
4. Now change heat to medium and mix all ingredients well and cook for around 2-3 mins so that all spices blends well with potato mixture. After approx. 3 mins switch off the heat and let the potato masala cool down.
5. Now we will prepare breads for bread roll. I am going to use white breads as they give better taste but you can also use brown bread. Just make sure breads should not have any holes. Now cut all hard sides of bread slices with knife as shown in video.
6. Now we will start filling bread rolls, for this put all things together, here I am using cooled potato masala, sliced breads and water to squeeze the bread. Just make sure to take water in a big bowl so that bread can dip well without breaking.
7. Now take around 2 tbsp potato mixture and roll them to make a cylindrical shape. Similarly, shape all potato stuffing one by one.
8. Now take a bread slice and quickly dip in water for 2-3 sec, now place it on your palm and squeeze it with both palms with mild pressure till all water squeezes out. Just make sure not to dip bread in water for too long as they will become too soggy and break. We just need to soak them just enough so that they are just wet. Now take aloo stuffing we made earlier and diagonally place it bread center. Just make sure not to overfill them, if you feel mixture is slightly extra then remove it before folding the bread. Now close bread like we fold envelope and press gently on all sides to seal them properly. Just make sure its sealed well from all sides without any openings, otherwise mixture can come out while frying. Similarly fill all bread rolls with potato mixture.
9. I find this method better but I will show you another way to make bread roll, you can use whichever is easier for you. First step is same, dip bread and squeeze all water with palms, then take aloo mixture and put it in the center. Now start folding bread as shown in video so that it is completely closed and all potato stuffing is covered. Keep pressing gently to give the shape you want but its very important that there should not be any opening left.
10. Once all bread rolls are ready, lets fry them. For this heat oil in a wok on medium high heat. Check if oil is ready for frying by dropping a small piece of bread, if it sizzles it means oil is ready.
11. So now put heat to medium and carefully add bread roll from the corner of wok and let it fry for 30 sec. After 30 sec add second bread roll, and similarly add other bread rolls according to the size of your wok. We are adding bread rolls one by one to avoid them sticking to each other.
12. Now fry them uniformly on medium heat till they are cooked and color changes to golden brown. Keep flipping them in between so that they can cook uniformly.
13. Now after frying for around 6-7 mins this is the color we wanted. So take out bread roll on a paper towel so that all extra oil is soaked by paper. Similarly, fry all bread rolls.
14. Now our super yummy bread rolls are ready so serve them hot.
