Cooking steps
  1. 1

    Line a sieve with a muslin cloth and place yogurt in it. Allow excess whey to drain in the fridge for 2 hours to obtain thick hung curd.

  2. 2

    In a bowl, combine hung curd, crumbled paneer, grated carrot, chopped bell pepper, cilantro, green chili, cumin powder, chaat masala, black pepper, and salt. Mix until smooth.

  3. 3

    Remove crusts from bread slices and gently flatten each slice using a rolling pin to avoid tearing.

  4. 4

    Place about 2 tablespoons of the yogurt filling on one side of a bread slice. Brush the bread edges with water, roll tightly, and press the seam so the roll stays sealed.

  5. 5

    Heat oil in a heavy-bottomed pan over medium heat. Once the oil is moderately hot (350°F), fry the prepared rolls in batches until crisp and golden brown, turning gently for even coloring (about 2-3 minutes per batch). Transfer to a paper towel to drain excess oil before serving hot.
