Expert Tips
The filling in this recipe makes 8-10 bread rolls. You can adjust the quantities as per your preference.
Make sure you use very little water when grinding the green chutney. We want it to be slightly thick and spreadable.
Trim the ends of the bread before rolling them. Also, make sure they are rolled thinly and evenly.
Add other vegetables like grated carrots and boiled corn kernels. Make sure they are cut into small bits and there is no moisture content in them.
Recipe FAQs
I use white or whole wheat bread, and they both work very well. You can also use multiseed bread; however, it may not roll up well.
These bread roll-ups are great for meal prep. The green chutney can be made and stored in the refrigerator for up to one week. You can make the filling the previous night and store it in the refrigerator. If you plan to store it for longer, skip onions in the filling. Without onions, the filling can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
No. I use paneer in the filling and butter to fry them so they are not vegan. To make them vegan, replace paneer with crumbled firm tofu and butter with vegan butter or any cooking oil.
