Matar Paneer Bread Roll

Matar Paneer Bread Roll

Summer vacation is about to come. Kids will be at home for full day. I have noticed a tendency with kids that, if they sit idle they will be more hungry. They want their mouth to be filled all the time. So we all moms keep our cupboard full with different snacks items. But one major snacks time is evening when they demand something tasty to eat. Being a mom of two growing kids I face the same situation every year. I used to prepare these snacks every year. This year I thought of sharing some of my instant and easy snacks items with everyone. In this series first one is Matar Paneer Bread Roll. Though its deep fried it is a healthy and filling snacks.

Paneer is a product made from milk. It is an all rounder ingredient as it can be used in different shapes. It is also tastes good in every way. It is a good source of protein and calcium, vitamin B. it is low in carbohydrates. Peas have protein, fiber and micronutrients. It is also low in fat. It has generous amount of vitamin B1, B2, B3, and B6. Peas and paneer are kids favorite food.  So I add another kids friendly ingredient bread to make a fab snacks.

Here is the recipe for all

Brown bread- 8 pieces

Mater- 1 cup

Paneer- 100gms

(if using homemade chhena then 3/4 cup)

Boiled and mashed potatoes- 2medium

Onion- 1 small

Green chilli- 1

Roasted zeera powder- 1 tsp

Amchur powder- 1/2tsp

Chaat powder- 1 tsp

Chopped coriander leaves- 1 tbsp

Chopped mint leaves- 1 tbsp

Bread crumbs- 1 cup + 1 ½ tbsp

Rava- 2 tbsp

Oil for deep frying

In a bowl add green peas or matar, add water and salt and keep it on fire and let it cook. When cooked, strain it in a strainer and keep aside. Chop onion and green chillies and keep aside. Grate the market brought paneer or scramble the home made paneer.

In a mixing bowl, add mashed potatoes, paneer, cooked matar, chopped onion and green chilli, chopped coriander and mint leaves and all dry spices and mix together. Then add 2 ½ tbsp of breadcrumbs and mix properly. Then make 8 balls out of it.

Spread bread crumbs and rava on a plate and mix properly. Heat oil in pan.

Take 8 pieces of bread and cut the sides of the bread. In a bowl take some water. Soak the bread in the water and squeeze out the water properly. Then put one ball of potato mixture in the bread and cover it properly without the stuffing peeping out of the cover.

 One can fry this in hot oil but sometimes bread soak more oil,  So to avoid this roll the bread roll on the bread crumbs and rava mixture properly. This mixture should coat the rolls properly. Now slowly slide the rolls in the hot oil and fry up to golden brown.

Serve hot this rolls with sauce or chutney of your choice.
