MyMusingsSangSpeak-Pet Puja - Bread Rolls

Bread Roll

Another favourite bread snack, the bread rolls, yummy and one could just go on eating. Health conscious people, please give this one a miss. I learned to make bread rolls in our cooking class in school, the recipe was taught by Mrs Lazarus, and the filling was that of coconut chutney with sweet sour flavouring. My mom made bread rolls using mutton kheema stuffing. I use the most basic filling, that of the humble aloo(potato) subji. 

Ingredients

Bread Slices – 10 nos

Potatoes – 5-6 medium sized

Onions – 2 medium

Green chillies – 3-4 nos

Curry leaves – 10-12 nos

Asafoetida – A pinch

Cumin seeds – ½ teaspoon

Mustard Seeds – ½ teaspoon

Turmeric Powder - ½ teaspoon

Ginger, garlic, coriander paste – 1 teaspoon

Chopped Coriander Leaves – 2 tablespoons

Lemon Juice - 1 teaspoon

Sugar -1 teaspoon

Salt – As per Taste

Oil (for Subji) – 2 tablespoons

Oil (for frying) – 2 cups approx

Water - for soaking bread slices

 Method

 Boil the potatoes, peel and slice fine. Heat oil in a pan, temper it with asafoetida, curry leaves, mustard and cumin seeds and chopped green chillies. Add chopped onion and stir fry till it becomes slightly golden brown. Add ginger, garlic, coriander paste, potatoes, turmeric powder, salt, sugar, lemon juice and mix well. Cover with lid for about 2 minutes and finally add chopped coriander leaves. Remove from fire and set it aside.

Take water in a plate or broad based utensil. Dip one bread slice in water at a time, place it between both palms and squeeze out the extra water. Take a spoonful of the aloo subji and place it in the centre of the slice and close from all sides to make it into a roll. Make all the rolls and set aside. Heat oil in a pan till it is smoky hot, lower the flame and fry the bread rolls till they turn an even golden brown from all sides. Remove the bread rolls on paper to remove excess oil and serve with green chutney or tomato sauce.

Note

Variations could be filling of many kinds like sweet corn plus cheese, chicken kheema or vegetables of your choice.
