For the rolls:
- 8-10 slices bread
- 3-4 tablespoon butter
Prep
To make the green chutney, blend together coriander leaves, mint leaves, garlic, green chili, lemon/lime juice, and salt using very little water. Set it aside
To make the filling, place the paneer in a large bowl and crumble it
To this, add onion, capsicum, coriander leaves (cilantro), chili powder, garam masala, and salt
Mix well and bring it together like a soft dough
Making the rolls
Pinch out a small portion of the stuffing and roll it into an oval shape. Take care the length of it is almost the same as the bread (see step-by-step images)
Repeat with the entire mixture
Trim off the edges of the bread. Roll it using a rolling pin
Spread a small amount of green chutney onto the bread
Place the stuffing on one edge of the bread
Carefully roll the bread. Apply little water on the other edge and seal it completely. Repeat with rest of bread slices
Frying the bread roll
Heat a frying pan and add some butter. Place the bread onto it and fry for 1-2 minutes, until golden brown
Carefully flip it and fry on both sides
Serve with tomato ketchup or dip of your choice
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 or grated, and there is no moisture content in them.
