Servings: Makes 10 rolls

Ingredients for the Potato Filling:

• 3 medium-sized potatoes (peeled and boiled)

• 2 tablespoons green peas (optional, but they add a nice texture)

• 1 teaspoon cumin seeds

• 2 green chilies (finely chopped)

• 1 teaspoon red chili powder

• 1 teaspoon amchur (dried mango) powder

• 1 teaspoon garam masala

• Salt, to taste

• 2 tablespoons fresh coriander leaves (finely chopped)

Ingredients for the Bread Rolls:

• 10 slices of white or whole wheat bread (preferably soft)

• Water (for dipping the bread)

• Oil (for deep frying)

Step-by-Step Guide

Step 1: Prepare the Potato Filling

The first step is to prepare the filling that will bring all the flavors to life. Start by boiling 3 medium-sized potatoes until they are soft and fully cooked. You can check the potatoes by piercing them with a fork; if they easily break apart, they are ready. Once the potatoes are boiled, peel and mash them well in a large bowl.

Heat a pan over medium heat and add about a tablespoon of oil. Once the oil is hot, add 1 teaspoon of cumin seeds and let them splutter for a few seconds. Add the chopped green chilies and sauté them for about a minute, releasing their aroma.

Now, add the mashed potatoes to the pan and stir well. Season the potatoes with 1 teaspoon each of red chili powder, amchur powder, and garam masala. Add salt to taste. Mix everything thoroughly, ensuring the spices coat the potatoes evenly. Stir in 2 tablespoons of finely chopped coriander leaves for a fresh, herby flavor. Once the filling is ready, remove it from the heat and let it cool to room temperature.

Step 2: Prepare the Bread

While the filling cools down, you can start preparing the bread. Take 10 slices of soft white or whole wheat bread and trim the edges to remove the crust (optional, but it gives a smoother texture). The bread needs to be softened before rolling it, so prepare a shallow bowl with water. Quickly dip each bread slice into the water, making sure it gets moistened but not soaked. Press each slice gently between your palms to remove excess water, keeping it soft and pliable for rolling.

Step 3: Assemble the Rolls

Now comes the fun part—assembling the rolls! Take each moistened bread slice and place it flat on a clean surface. Place a generous spoonful of the cooled potato filling in the center of the bread slice. Be careful not to overstuff, as the filling may spill out during frying.

Gently roll the bread around the potato filling, pressing the edges together to seal the roll. Ensure that the bread is tightly wrapped around the filling, without any gaps or openings. Repeat this process for all the bread slices and filling.

Step 4: Fry the Rolls

In a deep frying pan, heat enough oil to submerge the rolls. The oil should be hot but not smoking. To check the temperature, drop a small piece of bread into the oil; if it bubbles up immediately, the oil is ready.

Carefully slide the prepared bread rolls into the hot oil, one by one. Fry the rolls in batches, ensuring they do not overcrowd the pan. Cook the rolls for about 3-4 minutes, turning them occasionally until they are golden brown and crispy on all sides.

Once the rolls are done, remove them from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.

Step 5: Serve and Enjoy

Cut the bread potato rolls into halves or serve them whole, depending on your preference. They are best enjoyed hot and can be paired with a side of tangy green chutney or sweet tamarind sauce for added flavor.

Tips for Perfect Bread Potato Rolls:

1. Bread Selection: Use soft bread slices for the best texture. If you’re looking for a healthier option, whole wheat bread works perfectly.

2. Consistency of the Potato Filling: Make sure the potato filling is not too watery. If needed, lightly mash the filling to avoid any excess moisture that could make the bread soggy.

3. Frying Temperature: Maintain medium heat while frying. If the oil is too hot, the rolls will burn quickly, and if it’s too cool, they will absorb too much oil and become greasy.

FAQs

1. Can I make these rolls ahead of time?

   • Yes! You can prepare the rolls in advance and store them in the refrigerator. When you’re ready to serve, just fry them fresh for a few minutes until golden brown and crispy.

2. Can I use a different filling for the rolls?

   • Absolutely! You can experiment with different fillings like paneer, cheese, or even mixed vegetables to create variations of this recipe.

3. Can I bake these rolls instead of frying?

   • Yes, you can bake the rolls in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for about 15-20 minutes or until golden brown. This option makes the rolls a bit healthier as they won’t absorb as much oil.
