Ingredients

  • Sago – 1 cup
  • Water – about ¾ cup for soaking
  • Boiled potatoes – 2 medium, cooled and mashed
  • Rice flour – 2 tbsp
  • Paneer – 200 g, crumbled
  • Onion – ¼ cup, finely chopped
  • Capsicum – ¼ cup, finely chopped
  • Green chilli – 1
  • Garam masala – ½ tsp
  • Coriander – 2 tbsp
  • Salt – as needed
  • Oil – for pan-frying

Method

  1. Soak sago 4 to 6 hours until fully soft and drain well.
  2. Mix sago with cooled potato, rice flour and a little salt to form a firm outer mixture.
  3. For the filling, sauté onion, capsicum and chilli in 1 teaspoon oil for 2 minutes. Add paneer, garam masala and salt and cook 1 minute; cool completely and add coriander.
  4. Flatten a portion of sago mixture on an oiled palm, place a line of paneer filling in the centre and close around it to form a short roll.
  5. Smooth all seams and chill shaped rolls 10 to 15 minutes if soft.
  6. Heat a shallow layer of oil in a pan over medium heat.
  7. Cook rolls, turning carefully, until all sides develop a golden crust and the centre is hot.
  8. Drain and serve immediately with chutney. Keep the filling fairly dry or the rolls may split.
