Masala Roll Ups /Savory Roll Ups - Easy Evening Snack



My son prefers to eat sandwich and roll for his evening snack,one thing which I make often is sandwich with different filling.
I usually make this stuffing and make a sandwich but for a change instead of sandwich,roll it and toasted in the griddle.My son loved it and asked me to share it in the blog and I was happy.Here I used some green peas to give a texture,it can be skipped or grated paneer can also be added.Since I had some leftover mint chutney,smeared it on the bread slice and its purely optional.With no further delay lets move on to the recipe..............................
