This recipe is easy to prepare and would win all hearts for you. Let’s get started friends….

Time to make Parcels –
- Cut the hard corner of bread using a knife or scissor. One bread makes one parcel.
- Now flatten this bread like chapatti using a rolling pin. This is your parcel cover.
- Now apply some pasta/pizza sauce on the bread piece leaving half a centimeter border for applying water for sealing the parcels.
- Now fill potato & cheese mixture, apply water on the border and seal the parcel in the rectangular shape.
- After making enough parcels, heat an oil in the frying pan.
- Give parcel an egg wash and then coat them with the breadcrumbs.
- Start frying on low heat first and then increase the heat till parcels are golden brown. Crispy outside and well-cooked inside.
- Serve these parcels hot with tomato ketchup or green chutney.
- And don’t forget to accompany them with good tea/coffee.
Tips –
- Instead of mixing pasta/pizza sauce with the mixture, you can also spread it on bread slice before filling the mixture. Just like pizza.
- You can also use a mix of mozzarella, cheddar or processed cheese for more gooeyness. You can even use paneer (cottage cheese) in the mixture.
- If you want to make big parcels, use sandwich bread instead.
- If you are allergic to egg or a vegetarian, use butter milk or corn flour mixed water instead of giving parcels an egg wash. The aim is to get the proper binding.
- You can increase or decrease cheese and potato portions as per your liking.
- In case you are hardcore non vegetarian, use cooked chicken or mutton keema (grounded meat) as a filling with cheese.
- This recipe is very flexible in terms of experiments, so feel free to do so and share your experience with me. Would love to hear from you.
