Spicy Potato Bread Rolls

1.In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and red chili powder. Mix well to ensure the spices are evenly distributed.

2.Add the melted butter and mashed potatoes to the dry ingredients. Mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

3.Gradually add warm water, a little at a time, kneading the dough until it is smooth and elastic. If the dough is too sticky, add a little more flour as needed.

4.Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for about 30 minutes in a warm place.

5.After resting, divide the dough into small balls, about the size of a golf ball.

6.Flatten each ball into a small disc and place a teaspoon of chopped cilantro (if using) in the center. Fold the edges over the filling and pinch to seal, forming a roll.

7.Heat oil in a deep frying pan over medium heat. Once hot, carefully add the rolls, a few at a time, and fry until golden brown on all sides, about 3-4 minutes per side.

8.Remove the rolls from the oil and drain on paper towels to remove excess oil.

9.Serve hot with your favorite chutney or sauce.
