Bread rolls are really the Indian version of the popular potato croquettes. They are a common and popular tea time snack in Gujarat. It brings me memories of my university days. We never liked what was usually in the hostels, so we virtually used to live on bread rolls and spicy omelettes from the university canteens 🙂 Bread rolls were to us what the vada-pav is for people from Mumbai or the burger and fries to North Americans!
Ingredients
Instructions
- Boil potatoes well, remove skin and mash them.
- Finely chop green chillies and cilantro.
-
Add the green chillies, cilantro, salt and all the spices into the mashed potatoes and mix well. Now divide the potato mix into 8 equal balls and shape them into a croquette/oval shape.
- Keep oil for deep-frying to heat in a wok.
- Take some water in a bowl.
-
Take out 8 bread slices and remove the crust (brown lining on edges).
- Take one bread, slightly dip it in water, and squeeze out all the water gently.
- Lay the damp bread flat on your palm and put one portion of the potato filling in the centre and seal the edges and make a roll so that the filling stays inside the bread. Keep the roll aside on a plate.
-
Make all the rolls similarly.
- Deep-fry the rolls (about 2 at a time) in hot oil, on medium flame.
- Drain on kitchen towels and serve hot with mint chutney or tomato ketchup.
