Veggies for the filling
  • Veggies: you are free to use any vegetables you like. I use these veggies in this recipe
    • Cauliflower: ½ - I prefer a grated one.
    • Carrots: 2- grated.
    • Capsicum: ½ - roughly diced into small pieces.
    • Potato: 1- boiled and mashed.
    • Green Onions: 2- roughly chopped
    • Spices: cumin seeds, salt, red pepper, garam masala and chat masala.

As cauliflower and carrots take a long time to cook, so it is better to grate than chop.

  • Bread- I use regular sandwich bread. Feel free to use the one you like. For a gluten-free option, use gluten-free bread only!
  • Egg- 1 for binding the rolls.
  • Oil for shallow frying.

How to serve these rolls?

Serve these yummy low-calorie rolls is with the following chutney/dip:

cilantro dip, carrot chutney ,cilantro mint chutney, spicy red chilli chutney, mayo-yogurt dip, spicy schezwan sauce, or any sweet and sour sauce.

Variations

  • Feel free to swap out the veggies with the veggies of your choice.
  • For healthy options, you can even bake them for an oil-free version.
  • For egg-free options, skip the outer egg coating. Seal the edges by using a cornflour-water mixture.
  • If you are looking for more flavour, try adding soy sauce while cooking veggies.

Tips

  1. Grate veggies if possible as they cook faster and mix well, thus easy to fill in the rolls.
  2. Cool the cooked veggies filling before stuffing it into the rolls.
  3. Serve rolls immediately. If kept for a longer time, it will be soggy.
  4. Green onions give it a unique taste as compared to routine onions.
  5. Cumin enhances the taste and aids digestion, so I highly suggest adding cumin seeds or cumin powder to this recipe.
  6. Use boiled potato only as this serves as a binding agent.
  7. For egg-free options, use milk instead of egg for sealing and skip the outer coating with egg.
  8. Not having chat masala, try replacing it with lemon juice.
  9. Mash veggies gently to avoid the loss of their texture and taste.
  10. To make rolls in large batches, prepare the filling in advance and refrigerate. Use this filling to make rolls whenever you plan to make them.
  11. Save the outer edges of bread slices for later use in other preparations as bread crumbs by just drying out in the sun for 2-3 days.
