METHOD:
| Preparation time: 30-35 mins | Cooking time : 15 mins | Makes 7 to 8 bread rolls |

How to make stuffing>>>
1. Boil the potatoes in microwave or pressure cooker. I have boiled in cooker which took 10 mins.

1. In the meanwhile, chop the onions, chillies ans wash the peas.

2. Take a small wok(kadhai) or non-stick pan. Add 2 tbsp oil in it and heat it on medium.

3. Wash the boiled potatoes in cold water and let them cool. Then peel them and mash them lightly.
   

4. When the oil is heated ,add jeera and hing in it. Let it sizzle for 30 secs.
   

5. Next goes in the onions and peas. Stir them and add salt too.
   

6. After sauteing the onions and peas for 3-5 mins, add all the dry spices viz, the coriander , fennel powder, chilly powder, turmeric and stir everything together.
   

7. In the end add the potatoes and now lower the heat while stirring and mixing them.
   

8. Turn off the heat and let this stuffing cool down before preparing the bread rolls.Transfer it to a bowl for faster cooling.

How to prepare the bread rolls>>
1. Take a shallow bowl filled with water.

1. Pick up one slice (the top and bottom of breads are very useful for bread rolls) , dip in the bowl of water and squeeze out the water by pressing between both the palms. If your bread is not a whole grain bread , and is normal white bread, then don’t press too hard lest it might crumble.
   

2. Place 1-2 spoonful of stuffing in the center of the wet bread placed on left palm.
   

3. Bring all the corners in the center and seal then together with the other hand. You can bring the diagonally opposite corners first ,seal them and then the other 2 corners to seal them at the top.
   

4. Once it is sealed from all sides, press it in your fist to squeeze any excess water or to ensure it is tightly wrapped. If you are making these for the 1st time, be light with the stuffing and concentrate on wetting the edges of the bread ,so that they are closed nicely on wrapping.

5. Heat almost 2 cups of oil or more in a wok for deep frying at high.

6. Similarly prepare all the bread rolls and keep them in a dry plate.
   

7. When the oil is sufficiently hot, place 2-3 bread rolls in the center and fry them till golden brown.

8. Turn them on the other side for even browning.
   

9. Take them out in a paper-towel lined plate with a slotted spoon after draining the oil in the wok.
   

10. Serve them hot with tomato ketchup or home-made green dip.
