Bread Rolls: Fried bread snacks with potato filling

A very simple recipe - served as a tea time snack in many Indian households.  This is another of those recipes which I have still not been able to perfect, but is made by Hubby, every single time. Even he has taken time to perfect it. 

Sharing it for those weekend evening snacks when you have guests over, or when you simply want to indulge.

Ingredients:
 For the filling:
Boiled potatoes: 2 big, grated
Green peas: 2 - 3 tsp (optional)
Chat Masala: 1/2 tsp
Amchoor Powder: 1/4 tsp, or lemon juice: 1/2 tsp

Jeera Powder: 3/4 tsp

Red Chilli Powder: 1/4 - 1/2 tsp
Green Chilli, finely chopped: 1 - 2 (optional)
Chopped coriander leaves: 2 - 3 tsp
Salt: To taste
Black pepper: To taste


Bread slices: 6
Oil to deep fry


Method:
- If using green peas, boil in microwave for around 5 minutes. Drain and keep aside
- Peel and grate the potatoes. Add the green peas and the rest of the spices. Mix well


Making the rolls:

Step 1: Take a large bowl and fill it with water. Dip a bread slice in it

Step 2: Gently take out the slice, and press it firmly between both the palms so that the water is drained out. Take care that the slice doesnot break, though it may lose its original shape
Step 3: Put a spoonful of filling in between the slice
Step 4: Fold around the sides to cover the filling
Step 5: Gently press and roll it in your palms to smoothen and close the edges and give it an oval shape

Frying:

- Take sufficient oil in a pan / kadhai to deep fry

- Heat the oil till it almost starts smoking

- Gently dip the prepared rolls in the hot oil, one or two at a time

- Roll over using a slotted spatula so as to evenly cook from all sides.

- Fry till golden brown. This should not take more than a minute.

- Serve hot with your favourite ketchup or chutney

Note:

- If the oil is not hot enough, the bread will absorb the oil leaving the end product very oily
