Yogurt Wheels

Bored of sandwich and toast? Then here is a yummy twist for a bread snack/breakfast apart from the usual bread upma or the deep fried bread bajji/bonda. The filling that I have used here can be varied according to your taste and preferences. I wanted to keep it simple so just used 2 - 3 veggies and had ketchup as accompaniment. Serve it hot as breakfast or snack and enjoy tastefulness, absolutely guilt free :)

INGREDIENTS:

• Any bread of your choice (I used whole wheat bread)
• Oil - 2 Tbsp

For filling:

• Yogurt - 3/4 cup - hang in muslin cloth or strain in a tea-strainer for 15-20 mins
• Onion - 1, finely chopped
• Capsicum - 1/4 cup, finely chopped
• Cucumber - 1/4 cup, finely chopped
• (You could also add the following veggies - potatoes, carrots, tomatoes, sweet corn, boiled and mashed peas etc.)
• Salt - as needed
• Pepper - 1/2 Tsp or as needed
• Chat masala - 1/4 Tsp, optional

METHOD:

1. Make sure that the yogurt is hung/strained at least for 15-20 minutes, so that the excess water is strained and the yogurt is thick
2. Mix all the ingredients for filling together
3. Cut the edges of the bread along the sides that you are going to roll (you could also cut all 4 edges)
4. With the help of a rolling pin, gently press along the length of the bread, so that the holes get closed
5. Spread a layer of the prepared filling on the bread and carefully roll it. You can seal the edges with the help of yogurt
6. In a non-stick pan, toast the rolls with very little oil, so that it gets brown and crisp
7. As an alternative, you could also grill it for 6-7 minutes. (In this case, just brush very little oil on each roll before grilling)
8. Serve hot with ketchup or green chutney!
