Stuffed Bread roll or roller as we Sindhis call it,is a Sunday heavy breakfast. Nothing better than stuffed bread potato rolls on a cold winter morning along with a cup of hot tea. Some dishes remain close to your heart even when you grow old. Be it roller or noodles.
Roller also has a good crunchy outer with soft potato filling inside. This makes it heavier. Thus, make it easier to fill stomach. When IPL is on so this is a great starter with cold drinks and some caramel popcorn.It is a time to sit together and enjoy the match!
These bread rolls are one of my favorite snack during Diwali and holi for visiting guests. Other Holi recipes include Air fryer methi mathri,mango lassi recipe,,Cornflakes chivda,Homemade thandai powder,kheer recipes ,Rasgulla , Nolen Gurer Rasogulla and not to forget the Homemade Holi colour.

You can also make them when you go for a picnic. This recipe is easy to make. They can be eaten warm or at room temperature. Eat the crispy bread roll with spicy tomato sauce or mayonnaise. If you make them spicy, simple tea would do. You will not need another dip with it.
