Prepare the filling:

Shape the rolls:

Take a portion of the mixture (about 2–3 tbsp) and shape it into a small log or oval (like a croquette or mini roll).

Repeat with the rest of the mixture.

Coat the rolls:
-
Dip each roll into beaten egg, then coat evenly with breadcrumbs.
-
For extra crispiness, chill the coated rolls for 20–30 minutes before frying.

-
Fry:
-
Heat oil in a deep skillet over medium heat.
-
Fry the rolls until golden brown and crispy on all sides (about 3–4 minutes).

Remove and drain on paper towels.

Serve hot with ketchup, garlic sauce, green chutney, or yogurt dip.

Great for tea time, party platters, or lunchboxes.
🔄 Optional Variations:
-
Add grated cheese to the filling for a gooey center.

Use ground chicken and sauté with spices before mixing for more flavor.

Air fry or bake (at 400°F for 15–18 minutes, flipping halfway) for a lighter option.
