Thecha Rolls Recipe | How to make Cheesy Thecha Rolls
Thecha rolls are very easy to make. This recipe has been shared by Instagram user Pickles & Wine on Instagram. To make these rolls, first of all:
1. Preparation of the Thecha
Heat some oil in a pan. Then add green chillies and garlic cloves to it. Cook it for 4-5 minutes until the garlic and green chillies become a little soft. Then put the ingredients in a mortar and add roasted peanuts and salt over it. Using a pestle, grind the ingredients and your thecha is ready.
2. Prepare the bread
Now take 4-5 slices of bread and remove its edges. Flatten it with the help of a rolling pin. Apply a spoonful of butter on it, and add some thecha and a cheese cube on it. Secure the ends of the bread with water. Roll it. Follow the same process with the other bread as well.
3. Cook the bread rolls
Heat a pan over medium flame with some oil. Gently place the thecha rolls on it and cook until crispy and golden brown on both sides. This should take 4-5 minutes in total. Remove from the flame, cut in the middle and serve with ketchup!
