List Of Ingredients: (Makes 6-7 pieces)

• Hung Yoghurt/Curd- 200 grams
• Paneer- 50 grams (crumbled)
• Small onion-1
• Small Capsicum-1
• Small Carrot-1
• Chopped Coriander-2 tbsp
• Salt- To taste
• Black Pepper powder-1tsp
• Chopped green chillies-2
• Ginger paste-1 tsp
• Bread Slices-6 to 7
• Maida (All Purpose Flour) -2 tsp
• Water-4 tsp
• Cooking Oil-For Frying/Brushing

Steps To Prepare:

Water dripped from curd. To be discarded.

Chop the capsicum, onion and carrot into really fine pieces. Keep it aside.

Transfer the hung curd in a mixing bowl. Add chopped capsicum, onion, carrot, coriander, green chillies, paneer, salt, black pepper and ginger paste to it. Mix well to form a even mixture. Keep it aside.

Prepare a slurry of maida (APF) and water. This slurry will be used as a binding agent for bread. Its consistency should be creamy; neither too thick nor too thin.

Chop off the edges of bread slices.

Take one bread slice. Brush some water over it. Roll it into a thin slice using rolling pin.

Place nearly 1 tsp of the mixture prepared in step 3 on the bread slice as shown below. Using a spoon spread some slurry on the outer edge of the roll.

Start folding the bread into a roll. If your bread is little crumbly, you can even place the bread slice over a wet kitchen towel and then roll it.

Slightly press the corners of the roll while gently twisting them. This will help in sealing the rolls/bread pockets from both ends.

Fry them till they are golden brown. 

Once the air fryer is heated, place the Hung Curd bread pockets inside air fryer and air fry them for 10-12 minutes. Remember to flip the pieces after interval of 5 minutes.

 These should be air fried till golden brown.
