Over the years I started to make these veg rolls at home. It was really easy to guess the ingredients and method, what years of cooking do to you 🙂 You easily guess the ingredients in any dish 🙂

Coming to this veg roll it has a base of mashed potatoes with a mix of sauteed veggies. The whole mixture is seasoned and then you shape it into rolls. Finally you bake these rolls in hot oven for 15-18 minutes. To make very crispy golden rolls you will have to brush oil generously on both rolls and baking sheet.

These veg rolls tastes so good when you serve them piping hot with espresso or filter coffee or tea. For kids you can serve with sweet chutney along with hot chocolate, badam milk, rose milk or some milkshakes.
