Baked Bread Roll

Today is World Sparrows Day :)!! so how could I not write a post ! These little birds are now unfortunately a disappearing species and you can lend your support to increase their numbers by simply putting out little feeders for them in your balcony/garden with grain and water..please check this link http://www.worldsparrowday.org/ to pledge your support.
Back to this post which I was actually saving for Sunday as this is a real Sunday special when the oats/cornflakes daily breakfast can take a backseat. Bread rolls are anyone's weak spot but this makes them guilt-free indulgence:)

Ingredients (makes 7-8 rolls)

3 medium potatoes, boiled
1 green chilli, finely chopped
1 small onion, finely chopped
1/4 cup chopped coriander leaves
2 tablespoons grated cheese
Salt
1 teaspoon chaat masala
Pinch haldi
1/2 teaspoon pepper powder
4-5 mint leaves, chopped

7-8 bread slices (I used brown bread)
Olive oil

1. Pre-heat oven to 200 degrees Celcius
2. Peel and mash the potatoes and mix with all other ingredients.
3. To make the roll , put water in a saucer and dip the bread in ..just dip and take out. Also if the bread is large sized, you can trim the edges..but the edges actually give a nice crunchy taste.
4. Place the soaked bread on your left palm, place a tablespoon of the mixture in the center of the bread. Now with your right hand, lightly fold the four corners of the bread over the potato mixture.
5. Then cup the folded edges with your right hand and roll the bread between both hands cupped. Gently press the bread as you roll between your hands to seal all the sides well...this can take some practise to perfect !
6. Brush the roll on all sides with olive oil and place on the center rack of the oven and bake till golden brown and crisp .
7. Serve hot with ketchup or green chutney
