Spicy Veg Rolls

A long time ago, I was visiting Mumbai with my family. On the roadside, I saw someone selling a dish similar to this, and many people were queuing up for it. I tasted it as well, but it was too spicy for me. I made this recipe for my children because they wanted something new. This dish works nicely for brunch or early dinner.

“Congratulate yourself when you do something new, even if it may seem a little extravagant.”

Ingredients:

  • This is enough filling for 6 brown bread rolls
  • · 4 -5 medium sized potatoes
  • · 1 Tbsp oil
  • · 1 Tbsp butter
  • · 1 medium onion
  • · 2 – 3 green chillies
  • · 2 – 3 cloves of garlic
  • · ½ cup peas
  • · 1 grated carrot
  • · ½ cup mixed herbs (mint, basil and spring onion)
  • · 4 – 5 nice ripe tomatoes
  • · 3 Tbsp Pav Bhaji masala (available at Indian spice shops)
  • · ¼ cup of red or yellow capsicums washed and cut into small pieces
  • · Coriander for garnishing

Method:

  • · Wash and boil the potatoes before mashing them.
  • · Place a frying pan onto your stove at medium temperature.
  • · When the pan is hot, pour the oil and fry the onions, green chillies and garlic until they are golden brown (about 5 minutes).
  • · Add the tomatoes and stir.
  • · When the tomatoes are soft and watery, add the Pav Bhaji masala.
  • · Stir until the masala has mixed well and there is a nice aroma.
  • · Add the remaining ingredients and mix thoroughly.
  • · Cover at low temperature for 2-3 minutes.
  • · Garnish with dhania.
  • · Your filling is now complete.

  • · Place a flat-frying pan on the stove at medium temperature.
  • · Cut a roll in half, and place the filling inside it.
  • · Roast it on the frying pan for 2-3 minutes, remembering to flip it over once.
  • · Enjoy while it is still hot!
  • · Good luck and god bless
