Tips for perfect Indian bread roll:
- Always fry the bread roll in the hot oil, otherwise, it will absorb the oil and will become soggy.
- Make sure to squeeze the water from the bread slice entirely. Otherwise, it will absorb the oil while frying.
- You don’t need to be perfect while shaping the bread roll, you can shape it into a ball or cylindrical shape as well.
- I have not removed the sides of the bread and I have seen that usually people remove it but it’s not necessary that brown sides of the bread make it more crispy.
- Don’t dip the bread in water for more than a second, more the time the bread will be in the water, the more you will unable to squeeze the water and it will break.
