These Yummy Bread Rolls Are The Perfect Tiffin Treat For Kids

Thinking up exciting meals to fill your child’s tiffin daily can feel like a full-time job. You probably have a selection of go-to recipes that you know pack in a lot of nutrition while also being tasty to ensure your kids don’t bring it right back home at the end of the day. These Bread Rolls are a great way to give them a restaurant-style treat while also ensuring they eat their veggies.

Made from a simple aloo stuffing, it’s similar to an aloo paratha, but with the additional benefits of peas and carrots for added nutrition. The simplest way to go about cooking it is to deep fry them, but if you want to cut back on oil, they can be shallow fried or even air fried for a much healthier take on the recipe.

They can be made in bulk and frozen for later which makes them the perfect meal prep option or even to serve as starters at your next party.
