For filling

½ Teaspoon Oil
1 Small Onion - finely chopped
1 Green chilly - finely chopped
A Pinch of Turmeric powder
Salt - to taste
A Dash of Black Pepper powder
2 Tablespoons Finely Chopped Coriander Leaves

½ Teaspoon Mustard Seeds
A Sprig Curry Leaves

Other Ingredients
6 Bread slices
2 Eggs
2 Tablespoons Milk
Salt & Black pepper - to taste
2 Tablespoons Finely Chopped Coriander Leaves
Oil for frying as required
Mint Chutney for serving

Method
For the filling

Boil the potatoes, peel them and mash well. Set aside.
Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat, add mustard seeds, when they splutter add the curry leaves, onions and green chilies. Sauté till onions soften and turn translucent. Now add turmeric, salt and pepper, mix well. Add in the mashed potatoes, combine everything well to make sure there are no big lumps. Well well mixed take off flame, mix in the coriander leaves and let the filling cool. 

In a bowl beat the eggs in a shallow plate and keep aside.

To make the rollups

Remove the crust from all the bread slices. 

Roll each slice of bread with a rolling-pin to flatten it. 

Place a tablespoon or more of filling on one end of a slice of bread and roll it up tightly. 

With a pastry brush apply egg on the other end of the bread slice to seal the edges nicely. Place on a large plate or tray, with sealed side down. 

Make all of the rollups the same way. Cover these with a damp cloth and keep aside Now in the remaining egg add, milk, salt, pepper and coriander leaves in a shallow plate. 

Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Dip each rolled up bread slice in the egg mixture and place in skillet, seam side down. Fry on each side for 2-3 minutes or till golden and crisp on medium high flame. Remove to a plate and keep warm. 

Do the frying in batches if you have to, dipping the bread only just before frying them.

Serve hot with Mint Chutney Oh! these are so yum, delicious taste awesome.

My Notes
You can prepare these rollups a day in advance and keep them in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Just before serving remove them out, dip in egg mixture and fry.

If you want to make them without egg. then prepare a slurry of a teaspoon of all purpose flour, 2 tablespoons of corn flour, water, make a thick slurry then add all the seasonings. Stir this mix before coating the rollups in it.
