I have a confession to make..i love all food deep-fried..and am certain there are many who are the same. So, i love the samosas,bajjis,bondas...but i love these veggie bread rolls the best. I think it is because, you have to make these at home to eat them..i have never seen them sold anywhere. I remember as a child asking ..actually begging my amma to make these..as she really did not like to make too many deep fried snacks. I think her her reluctance to make any deep fried food was my basic lack of portion control..which sadly has continued to my adulthood too ;)..anyway i digress..i would basically eat 4 to 5 of these and feel miserable the rest of the evening..but would be ready to eat thair-chadam (curd rice) at dinner time ;) he he. She would make 2 types of filling, one was with potatoes and peas the other was tomato and onion. They both are equally delicious and the last time i went home..amma made these and guess what....i overate again ;)
I made the potato peas bread-roll..here is the recipe. I of-course added garlic, which was a complete no-no in my house..so feel free to add in any veggie you want..
Ingredients:
Bread - 10 slices
Potatoes - 3 medium (boiled and mashed smooth)
Peas - 1 cup (boiled and mashed roughly)
Onion - 1/4 cup ( finely diced)
Green Chilly - 1 (finely chopped)
Garlic - 1 (finely chopped)
Cilantro - 2 tbls (finely chopped)
Ajwain -1/2 tsp.
Red Chilly Powder - 1/2 tsp.
Salt - to taste
Water- to dip the bread in
Oil - to deep fry(yep..this is not healthy or as RR would say figure friendly...bah!)
Method:
1. Mix in all the ingredients except the bread and oil and keep aside.
2. Heat the oil in a pan to deep fry.
3. In a wide bowl, take some water..dip a slice of bread in it for a second, take it out and squeeze all the water..taking care the bread does not lose the shape.
4. Add some of the vegetable filling in the middle of the squeezed out bread and close the edges. Form the bread into an oblong shape making sure the bread is well sealed.
5. Now drop this in the hot oil very gently and deep fry for a few minutes.
6. Eat these when they are hot....and yeah yeah..go ahead and overeat ;)
Notes:
1. Do not get greedy and put too much of filling inside.
2. Preshape the filling in oblongs, so that they fit in the bread easily.
3. Make two at a time and deep fry immidiately, you cannot preform all the bread ahead with filling and fry later,as they will get soggy......water, bread...get it ;)

YUM, great entry Rajitha!:)
Rajitha,
That looks great:-)Have not tried stuffing bread with potatoes & peas.
I too love deep-fried things but rarely make it:-(
I too am a garlic lover & add it in almost everything that doesn't even require it:-)
great snack! I blogged about them a month or so ago...just love these things!
What a great way to use bread, great recipe I love samosa and the likes also YUM! :)
Simple recipe and looks delicious! No second guesses as to why you overeat this one all the time...pic says it all! :)
Rajitha honey, I think that if all of us are honest, we'd have to admit that we have a weakness for deep-fried foods :D
That's my fear with deep fried food too....over-eating and then feeling guilty! :)
And by the way, thanks for dropping by my blog. So many new blogs have cropped up since I took my hiatus that's its difficult to keep track of them. Anyway, my point is, welcome to the blogosphere :)
Nice post. Your notes, esp the first one, made me laugh.
Lovely rolls Rajitha...should have been so tasty...I too love deep fried items :(
Rajitha, is true that you never find this on a menu, I love this, hey onion and tomato you should post that recipe too. I have few freinds coming in the eveing. This might be a good appetizer to make

Hi Rajitha,
i have never heard of deepfried bread rolls. Very interesting. Your post is very funny, too... we all over eat ourselves occasionally. It only proves what a great cook you are ;-)
Looks yum, Rajitha! I think fried foods are a universal favorite. I over-indulge too and then feel guilty! Over-indulging part, I don;t mind but it's the guilt that gets to me! Gotta work on that:)
This is looks so delicious n even i wud have overeaten these if i were in your place.
Hi!
Veggie bread rolls looks delicious!!!!! perfect entry for the event! picture is beautiful!
That looks yummy but do come with huge loads of cals :( But its ok once in a while
Same here i love fried food. And after eating them in excess fell guilty.
If i get my hands on the veggie roll i would eat few of them yum
These look so good that it would actually be a sin to not overeat I think! :) I've had something similar just once, loooong back but I remember loving it. I've been trying very hard to stay away from deep fried food for more than a month now. During the Puri marathon, it was almost impossible to not give in. Here you are tempting me again.
My name is sig, and I am a deepfriedfoodoholic.... :)
I can sit and eat tons of deep fried stuff without giving a second thought to portion control... yeah, as you said I feel miserable after that, but its all worth it :)... never had these fried bread rolls though... looks super yummy...
Great snack & and some good tips.. wish I live near your place.. I can come over for some of these yummy bread rolls.

Hi Rajitha,
Completely agree with u...anything fried is delicious :) BTW, there is only one place i have found these yummy rolls, in a small snack shop back home in Mumbai and i so miss all that street food. Your post brought back memories of these rolls and i want to make them soon.
Rajitha, Those look awesome. Golden color, crispy perfect snack. Thanks for sending them to me.
Deep fried carbs...whats not to like ;)
This was the first dish/ snack my fav. cousin made. They are soo good! Agree w/ you, I'll take these over samosas, bhajjis etc.
This looks so good!

Count me in. I'm a deep fry lover too. Your bread rolls look awesome. Wanna grab a bite with that sauce. Simply superb.
Truly delicious! I love bread rolls and its been ages since i made these...have to make them soon now :)
sreelu - thaks girl..that was sweet of u to lemme know :)
kribha - i love deep-fried food too..
tee -thnks! this is the first time i made them too....the snackorama did it ;)
Have been trying to leave a comment on your latest pizza post that just cracked me up... but I'm not able to... love your blog girl and enjoy letting you crack me up.
raaga- the pleasure is all mine....love ur blog too..u know that right..
Raji the best way to control fried food is make less - eat less. That works perfectly. This way you have the satisfaction of making it & eating it, but dont get much to eat. Give me the recipe for the tomato / onion filling. Have never tried that in bread roll.
