We are starting the next BM Edition with BM#54.
I will be starting with one of my favorite themes, the Deep Fried Love. Well in this theme, you get to showcase, enjoy all snacks, dishes that are deep-fried. Deep-fried mostly reminds me of snacks. However, I have made Virudhunagar Ennai Parotta and Delhi Paratha Wali Gali Mixed Paratha. Both these Indian Bread are deep-fried, and tastes amazing!
So for week 1, we going to be enjoying a hearty snack instead of these heavy-duty parathas. For day 1, I have a childhood favorite, Bread Roll. Though I had enjoyed this much at my friend's place, Amma had never actually made it herself. Well, she was always busy making so many other dishes!
When I had made it the first time, those were mini serves and with familiar vegetables. Today's recipe has broccoli and carrot and tastes ultimate after being fried!
The day I was making these, I had about 6 other dishes being done. So I was almost giving it up. Somehow the last moment decision to make it as planned and freeze the entire batch came to mind. This makes a great freezer-friendly snack.
You can make it and freeze to be deep-fried later. If you are averse to deep-frying, try baking it as well. It should come out as good as the other. Since the whole day was spent cooking all the snacks, I was not able to taste. However, Konda and Athamma enjoyed and they had to skip their dinner by the time I had completed all the dishes.
Konda said the broccoli gave a wonderful taste to the stuffing, so you know how to use your new vegetable right. This was the first time I was cooking with broccoli and wanted to have a friendly dish to get used to it.
So make this next for your party, will surely be a great hit!
Vegetables Bread Rolls

Carrots, diced - 1/2 cup
Broccoli, blanched - 1/2 cup
Boiled Potato - 1/2 cup
Green Chilies - 2 medium
Red Chili flakes -1 tsp

How to make the Stuffed Bread Rolls
Wash and blanch the broccoli, keep it aside.
Wash and dice the carrots into tiny pieces. parboil it for MW 5 mins.
MW potato for 4 mins.
Mash potatoes well, add carrots, broccoli, green chilies, salt, red chili flakes, and mix well. ensure you mash the carrot and broccoli well.
Divide mix into small equal balls. Press well.
Meanwhile, soak the bread slices in water and squeeze out the water.
Spread the bread slice on your palm and place the vegetable ball and cover it completely. Roll and press well on all sides to ensure the bread covers the stuffing inside.
Heat a pan with oil and when its hot, deep fry the stuffed bread balls.
Cook on all sides till the balls turn golden in colour. Drain out using a slotted spatula and keep on a kitchen towel.
Serve hot with tomato ketchup!
Notes:
These vegetable balls can be made ahead and frozen.
Since the outer layer is bread, it gets nicely fried in oil.

I used to makes these rolls long ago. In fact these were one of the few things I knew to make back then. Your rolls are so colorful 🙂

Mine's been never a deep frying family, even when I was growing up...but this seems like such a great treat. Though I am sure I won't be cooking 6 dishes in a single day, I might use that freezer friendly tip to make these ahead and cook for a get together..
