Rainy days make people crave something hot and crunchy. Most people make pakoras or bhajiyas. But if you want to try something different, bread rolls are a great option. They are made by stuffing soft bread with a tasty filling, then rolling and frying until crispy. You can put anything inside, like spicy potato, paneer, cheese, or even sweet stuff like jaggery and coconut. They’re fun to eat and go perfectly with a cup of tea. Bread rolls are also a good way to use leftover sabzi or boiled potatoes. Scroll up to explore five easy types you can make this monsoon.

Paneer Masala Bread Rolls
If you like paneer, this one’s for you. Crumble some paneer and cook it with chopped onions, tomatoes, green capsicum, salt, turmeric, and a little chilli powder. Once it cools, use it as the filling. Take slices of bread, lightly moisten them, and roll with the paneer mixture inside. Fry until the rolls turn crisp and golden. These are lighter than aloo rolls but still very tasty. You can also add a bit of grated cheese to the paneer filling for a gooey bite. This snack is perfect for kids, and you can even bake it if you don’t want to deep-fry.

Classic Aloo Bread Rolls
Classic aloo bread roll is one of the easiest and most loved versions by all ages. Just boil and mash some potatoes. Add chopped green chillies, coriander, salt, red chilli powder, and a bit of garam masala. Mix it well. Take white bread slices and dip them in water for just a second. Squeeze out the water gently and place some potato filling in the centre. Roll it up and seal the edges. Fry in hot oil until golden brown and crispy. Serve hot with ketchup or green chutney.
Cheese And Corn Bread Rolls
Cheese and corn bread roll is a fun snack with a cheesy twist. In a bowl, mix boiled sweet corn, chopped capsicum (optional), grated cheese, a pinch of salt, and some chilli flakes or oregano. Your filling is ready. Now, take soft bread slices, wet them slightly, and roll them with the cheese-corn mixture inside. Seal the sides properly so the cheese doesn’t leak. Fry or bake until golden and crisp. These rolls are very tasty when eaten hot, especially when the cheese melts inside. Serve with ketchup or garlic mayo. They’re perfect for small hunger pangs, rainy evenings, or even kids’ birthday parties.
Sweet Coconut-Jaggery Bread Rolls
These are great if you want a sweet snack. Start by grating some fresh or dry coconut and cooking it with jaggery and a pinch of cardamom powder. Let it cool down. Now take bread slices, dip quickly in water, squeeze gently, and fill them with the coconut-jaggery mix. Roll them up and seal well. Now, fry them till they turn golden brown. The result is a crispy outside and sweet, soft inside. These rolls taste like a homemade dessert and go well with warm milk or tea. You can also bake them if you don’t want to deep-fry.

Mixed Vegetable Bread Rolls
This is a colourful and healthy option. To whip up, boil and mash potatoes, then add cooked carrots, beans, peas, and corn. Mix with some salt, cumin, turmeric, and a pinch of chilli powder. Make sure the mix is dry and not watery. Use this as your filling. Dip bread slices in water quickly, squeeze gently, stuff with the veggie mix, and roll. Fry until crisp or bake if you prefer. These rolls are best for lunchboxes, too. Serve with chutney or sauce. It’s also a great way to use leftover vegetables.
