Steamed Bread Rings | Evening Snacks Recipe

Preparation of Potato stuffing:

1. Take a deep bowl and grate boiled potatoes in it. There should not be any lumps or small pieces so that bread will not break while rolling. You can also mash the potatoes.
   
2. Add all the spice powders-freshly chopped coriander leaves, grated ginger, garam masala, Cumin powder, salt, coriander powder, red chilly powder, and mix until well combined. Potato mixture/stuffing is ready.
   
3. Trim the edges of the bread slices.
   
4. Take the rolling pin and roll each of the bread very thin. Brush the edges with water to seal the ends.
5. Take one part of the mixture and spread it evenly over the rolled bread slice with the help of spoon. Do not spread thick layer of stuffing as it will become difficult while rolling the bread so spread thin layer of stuffing over the rolled bread slice by leaving some place in the corners.
   
6. After spreading the stuffing lift the bread slice from one side and roll the bread into a cylinder and seal the ends tightly so that stuffing does not spills out.
   
7. Make all the bread rolls in the same manner.
