Ingredients
  • 6 slices fresh white sandwich bread crusts removed, rolled flat
  • 300 grams starchy potatoes approx. 2 medium, boiled, peeled, and mashed
  • 1/4 cup 40g green peas (parboiled and drained)
  • 1/4 cup 35g carrot (finely diced, parboiled)
  • 1 green chili finely minced
  • 1 tsp fresh ginger grated
  • 1 tbsp cooking oil for sautéing filling
  • 1/2 tsp turmeric powder
  • 1/2 tsp red chili flakes
  • 1/2 tsp garam masala
  • 1/2 tsp amchur dry mango powder
  • 3/4 tsp fine sea salt adjust to taste
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter or ghee melted, for brushing
  • 1 tbsp white sesame seeds for topping
Instructions
  1. Steam-dry the potatoes: Drain boiled potatoes thoroughly and allow to cool on an open plate for 10 minutes until steam stops rising. Mash smoothly with a fork.
  2. Sauté the aromatics: Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a pan over medium heat. Sauté green chili, ginger, carrots, and peas for 2 minutes.
  3. Cook the spiced filling: Stir in turmeric, chili flakes, garam masala, amchur, salt, and mashed potatoes. Sauté over medium-low heat for 3 minutes until dry and cohesive. Cool to room temperature.
  4. Prepare the bread sheets: Trim crusts off all 6 bread slices. Flatten each slice wafer-thin (approx. 2mm) using a rolling pin.
  5. Shape and seal: Shape 2.5 tablespoons of cooled potato filling into a tight log. Place at one end of a bread slice, moisten the perimeter with water, roll tightly, and press the seam for 5 seconds to lock.
  6. Fat-wash: Brush the surface of each roll generously with melted ghee or butter, then sprinkle with sesame seeds.
  7. Bake: Arrange seam-side down on a parchment-lined tray. Bake in a preheated oven at 200°C (400°F) for 16–18 minutes (or air-fry at 190°C / 375°F for 10–12 minutes), flipping midway until deep golden and crisp. Serve hot.
