BREAD ROLLS



Bread rolls is one of the most desirable food item during the month of Ramadan. Everyone knows how to prepare it and everyone has its own special touch, which is majorly based on the filling, used within  the rolls. 
My mum used to make it for us when we were kids, and we all loved it. I still recall my mother image standing in the kitchen and folding the rolls with her hands.Ahh!! Time flew by so quickly.
Hubby loves bread rolls too, and were asking me to prepare it for ifftar. So here is my version of Bread Rolls.


RECIPE

  • Bread slices 6
  • Potatoes 6 medium (boiled)
  • Eggs 4 (hard boiled)
  • Fresh coriander 1tbsp chopped
  • Fresh mint leaves 1tbsp chopped
  • Green chillies 2-3 chopped (or more or less according to desire)
  • Salt to taste
  • Black pepper Freshly ground 1/2tsp

METHOD

  1. Mash the boiled potatoes.
  2. Chop boil eggs in small chunks.
  3. In a mixing bowl add all above listed ingredients and mix well.
  4. Take water in a bowl. Soak the bread edges in water first and squeeze it well between the palm of your hands.
  5. Now dip your hands in water and press the bread slice to make it slightly moistened, or you can dip one side of bread in water and squeeze it between the palm of your hands to release the extra amount of water.
  6. Take as much amount of filling, which can be hold by bread slice easily. Shape it in an oblong roll. Place it in the centre of slice at an 60^ angle. Fold the bread over it and press it with wet hand to seal it thoroughly. Repeat with the rest.
  7. Heat oil in a wok at a moderate temperature.
  8. Dip the bread rolls in beaten egg and deep fry. Or you can further coat it in bread crumbs and deep fry. I did it both ways, some with only an egg wash and some with bread crumbs, and must say the bread crumbs coated were more appetising than the plain egg wash.


Enjoy!

Fareeha Furhan.
