HUNG CURD  ROLL/ DAHI KE SHOLEY/DELHI STREET FOOD

A unique but amazing snack prepared with bread slices and the hung curd. Grated paneer is added into the stuffing to give it a creamy texture. The stuffing is prepared with the hung curd, cottage cheese, oatmeal, a few nuts, and some seasoning. As both the dairy products (hung curd and cottage cheese)contain some moisture which is quite capable to spoil the bread roll into the hot oil, a sufficient quantity of oatmeal is added to bind the stuffing. Oatmeal is healthier although there are a few more options as the binding agents such as bread crumbs and the crushed cornflakes etc.

To make bread rolls, the bread slices are soaked in water for a second so that they get softened enough to take the shape of rolls between the palms. In this way, the extra water is drained out and the slice easily holds the stuffing. As the rolls contain the stuffing,  so there are full chances of their opening and spoiling in the hot oil. To prevent spoiling in hot oil, these are refrigerated to set nicely to deep fry to the perfection
