Stuffed and Batter Fried Bread Rolls.. a treat from my cousin’s kitchen

Hello everyone.

During my recent visit to my mom’s place I was invited for a dinner at my cousin P’s place who has moved in with her in laws after staying in Bangalore for a few years. She herself is a good cook and keeps trying new in her kitchen. She served me these deep fried, spicy and savoury stuff and told me that it is her MIL’s creation. One bite into it and I was craving for the recipe.

Post dinner I asked her can I click the pics and get the recipe, to which her MIL Sandhya Mavshi very generously agreed. She is a sweet heart, she explained me the recipe in utmost detail and I eagerly scribbled it down. Thanks Mavshi for the recipe, I thoroughly enjoyed eating and clicking this delicious savoury. I’m looking forward to learn more from you.

This can make an excellent evening snack and even a starter.

Kindly excuse me for the pics (night shots).

I am also excited to tell you that for my previous post Mozzarella-Baby Corn Fritters with Chilli Jam which I had learnt from Chef Parag Kanhere( celebrity chef), the Chef himself has appreciated and commented, thanks so much Chef, you surely made my day.
