Instructions for Healthy Aloo Roll Recipe (Baked Bread Potato Roll)
-
Preheat the Oven:
Begin by preheating your oven to 200°C (about 400°F). Grease a baking sheet with butter to prevent the rolls from sticking during baking. -
Prepare the Filling:
In a large mixing bowl, combine the mashed sweet potatoes, finely chopped green bell pepper, onion, coriander leaves, green chilies, roasted peanuts, cumin powder, chaat masala powder, salt, and the juice of one lemon. Mix everything thoroughly to ensure the ingredients are well combined. The mixture should be slightly firm but easy to spoon. -
Prepare the Bread:
Use a rolling pin to gently roll out each slice of bread, pressing it down to make it slightly thinner and more pliable. This will help the bread roll easily around the filling. -
Assemble the Rolls:
Place a teaspoon of the prepared filling in the center of each flattened bread slice. Roll the bread tightly over the filling, ensuring that the edges are sealed well. Trim any excess bread at the ends, and press the sides to seal them securely. Repeat this process for the remaining bread slices. -
Coat the Rolls:
For a crispy, golden crust, dip each roll into melted butter. Then, roll the buttered bread over sesame seeds to coat the surface. This adds a delightful crunch to the exterior. -
Bake the Rolls:
Place the coated rolls onto the greased baking sheet, ensuring that they are spaced apart to allow even baking. Transfer the baking sheet to the preheated oven and bake for about 15 to 20 minutes, or until the rolls turn a beautiful golden brown color on the top and become slightly crispy. -
Serve:
Once baked, remove the rolls from the oven and let them cool slightly. Serve the Healthy Aloo Roll with a side of Date Tamarind Chutney or Spicy Strawberry Chutney for an extra burst of flavor. These rolls make an excellent appetizer or a tasty snack to enjoy during any gathering.
