Stuffed Bread Rolls

Stuffed bread rolls are very versatile for lunch ideas even. Rolls can be baked or fried. When I have enough time to cook my rolls, I prefer to bake them. However for instant serving, just fry them with little oil or deep fry till golden brown. You can choose even your own filling. Sometimes I take bit of time to make flavorful filling, the other time, just mix few vegetables or just make with mashed potato. So these rolls can be enjoyed several ways.

Direction:

To make stuffing:

Make paneer or use store bought ready paneer.

Boil and peel potato. Mash them coarsely and keep aside. or use ready potato flakes

In a bowl, combine paneer, onion, tomatoes, cilantro, sour cream, and all dry ingredients and mix well. Let it marinate for about 2 hours or use instantly. But to enhance flavor I marinate paneer with all ingredients.

In a pan heat 1 tbsp vegetable oil. Add cumin seeds and let it crackle. Add marinated mixture. Cook for 2minutes. Mixture tends to release water, so add potato mixture in the pan and mix well for couple of minutes. The stuffing is ready.

To make bread rolls:

Take 1 cup of water in a shallow bowl and keep aside.

Cut the brown edges of all the bread slices. Now take one slice of bread on your palm and sprinkle some water from the bowl kept aside. Make both the sides wet but not soggy. Press it gently to remove excess water.

Now put 2 tbsp of stuffing on the wet bread. And very gently roll the sides of the bread to cover the stuffing. The stuffing should be completely covered. And try to make the seam even.

Once the bread roll is even on all the sides, place it on a dry plate. Repeat the process with rest of the bread slices.

Heat oil in a pan for deep frying the rolls. Oil should be medium-hot.

Carefully fry the bread rolls in the oil. Keep turning after couple minutes, till done. They should be brown and crispy. Drain the bread rolls on the kitchen towel.

Serve hot with ketchup or green chutney.

If you prefer breadBalls and not rolls, follow instructions below to make them in ball shape:

Place 2tbsp of mixture in the centre of damp bread and gather all edges of bread in center and try to foam nice ball by pressing from all sides.

Make sure filling does not come out from the bread.

Repeat for remaining bread slices and potato filling.
