     way to the center without any efforts, it means the Potatoes are done.

9.  In a bowl take some water.

10. Now pick a bread slice and dip in the water  for few seconds. Just let the

    bread absorb the water. It should get damp but not overly, otherwise the bread
    slice breaks the idea is to make the bread moist enough so that it becomes
    pretty flexible which would make the shaping of the roll easier.

​11.  Now  pick the bread and gently press between palms so that the excess water
    drains out.Make sure the bread stays intact and does not break.

Gently squeeze the water out of the bread
12.   Place the wet bread slice in your left-hand palm and hold it like a scoop, with
        the right hand place a previously made potato roll in it, now press the edges
       and seal them. Also press the top and bottom parts and seal them and roll into
       cylindrical shape. If there is any exposed potato filling as when frying they
       will leak out in the oil. If there are any exposed edges, then just cover with a
       piece of soaked and drained bread and press it to get an even cover. Place the
       roll on a plate. Leave the rolls in the plate for 5 to 10 minutes before frying,
​       so that bread become little dry.

13.  Repeat the same process until all the rolls are made.

14.  Heat 2 to 3 cups of oil in frying pan or a kadhi, in about 7 to 8 minutes oil
​      will  heat up. keep the heat to medium. The correct temperature is important.

15.  To test the oil to see if it is ready, drop a little piece of potato mix, if it rises 

       immediately to the surface and sizzles, the temperature is correct, if it get
       brown quickly it means it is too hot then turn the heat down, if it is sink to
       bottom and do not simmer it means it is not hot enough, and the bread rolls
       will absorb too much oil and remain greasy, adjust the heat accordingly.

Check the oil if it is hot enough
16. When the oil becomes medium hot, then take stuffed rolls one after another
       gently drop them into hot oil.
 Do not overcrowd the pan. Add 3 to 4 bread
       rolls depending on the size of the pan. The oil has to be moderately hot. If
       the oil is not hot enough, the moist bread will absorb a lot of oil. If the oil is
       very hot, the bread will brown quickly and unevenly with uncooked insides.

17.  Let the rolls  fry for 1 minute, while flickering the oil over rolls.  with a
      slotted spoon turn the rolls around and let them fry, after 1 minute turn them
      back again. Keep flipping the rolls upside down for 4 to 5 minutes or until
       they become golden brown.
