Crunchy Bread Rolls

2) Today it was raining cats and dogs in the afternoon-my husband and sis in law were dropping broad hints about having something fried, crunchy, piping hot to go with a steaming cup of tea, perfect for these monsoon showers. I racked my brains and thought about these simple to prepare bread rolls which my Nani (grand ma) used to make for us when we would visit her in our vacations. Kasauli has never been the same without her, but that is besides the point. With my five month old son Sid watching me from his rocker I prepare these crunchy bread rolls and share the recipe with you.

Ingredients:-
Boiled Potatoes – 250gms
Peas -200 gms (Optional)
Coriander Leaves-a bunch ( Chopped)
Cumin Seeds-1tsp
Salt to taste
Turmeric Powder: 1/2tsp
Aamchoor (Dry Mango Powder) ½ tsp
Reds Chili Powder to taste
Garam Masala -1/2 Spoon
Oil for frying

How to cook:-
First Peel off the boiled potatoes and mash them.
Take thick bottom pan, put (1tsp) oil, and put cumin seeds let them crackle. Now put all the other ingredients (Garam Masala , Aamchoor,Red Chili Powder, Turmeric Powder, Coriander Powder, Salt) and Mashed potatoes and sauté them for one or two minutes .Put chopped coriander leaves and green chilies chopped finely .If you are using green peas please parboil them before. Then add to this mixture sauté for further five minutes. When you have sauted the mixture for five minutes put off the gas and let the mixture cool to room temperature.
Take each bread piece, dip in water, and squeeze the out the extra water between your two palms.
Put some of the Aaloo mixture in middle of the bread piece and roll the edges so as to make tube. Seal both the upper and lower end.
Deep fry them in a wok full of hot oil place tissue paper on the plate, take these bread rolls out and put them on the tissue paper, let the paper absorb the extra oil. Now serve them either with tomato sauce or with green coriander, mint chutney. The choice is yours. And a steaming cup of tea would be just heavenly now in your balcony sip tea, munch on these rolls and see the happy smiles on the faces of your loved ones .This about makes your monsoon showers perfect.Bon Apetite!
