Spicy rolls made with wheat flour and canned tuna fish

Spicy rolls made with wheat flour and canned tuna fish

This is a popular snack in Asia.  I am using tuna because I like it, but you can use any kind of canned or fresh fish. If you want to make vegetarian rolls, you can omit the fish and increase the quantity of potatoes. It will still taste good. You can also add boiled chick peas or green peas to the potatoes.

Ingredients for Spicy rolls made with wheat flour and canned tuna fish

Preparation
Remove the fish pieces from the can. Discard the liquid – brine or oil. Rinse the fish. Dry it in a paper towel. Use a fork to pull the fish into flakes. 

Flaked fish

Next step is to boil the potato. Potato is our binding agent. We are going to lightly mash it.

Potato

 You can use any method of boiling the potatoes. I normally microwave the potatoes with two table spoon of water for 3 minutes and turn the potatoes and cook for another 3 minutes. To test whether the potatoes are cooked, insert a fork and if the fork goes in smoothly, it means the potatoes are cooked. Let the potatoes cool and peel them and cut into small pieces. Lightly mash the potatoes with a spoon leaving small pieces. Mix the mashed potato with the fried fish.

Fish mixed with potato

In a medium sized frying pan or a wok heat 1 table spoon of vegetable oil of your choice. Fry onion for about 5 minutes. Add chili, garlic, ginger and curry leaves and fry for another 3 minutes.

Method
Next step is to make the pancakes. In a medium sized bowl add flour. Add egg, milk powder, salt and water. Whisk the ingredients briskly to form a smooth batter without any lumps.
I did this in the liquidizer.

Pancake mix

Grease a frying pan. And put it on a medium heat. When the pan is hot pour one ladle of the pancake mixture and swirl the pan to spread the mixture into a thin layer. You can also spread it with the back of a spoon.  In about 2 minutes the flip the pancake over after two minutes. Cook for another two minute and take out the pancake from the pan and place it in a plate.

Now we will make the rolls. using the fish mixture

Now we are ready to fry the rolls. We need to deep fry them. Heat one cup of oil in a frying pan in medium high heat. Fry the rolls in batches until they are brown. It will take about 2 minutes on each side.

That is it. The snack is ready for the evening tea. you will not feel sorry for a long process when you taste the rolls.


I fried some rolls in the air fryer to avoid too much oil. I fried 4 rolls in 200 degrees.I preheated for 10 minutes. Fried for 10 minutes and then 5 minutes and another 5 minutes
