  1. Boil potatoes and mash them.
  2. Grate carrots..

  6. Combine potatoes, paneer or soft tofu, vegetables including the uncooked grated carrots.
  7. Meanwhile heat a skillet or a frying pan.
  8. Add all the masalas mentioned above in the mixture. Add breadcrumbs or rice flour just enough to hold the mixture together.

  10. Dredge each patty into the breadcrumbs. Make sure that both the sides are coated well with the breadcrumbs.
  11. To shallow fry the patties, add oil to the skillet. Once heated, add the coated patties into the hot oil making sure not to overcrowd the skillet.
  12. Flip over each patty once the bottom side turns crisp and golden brown. Continue to fry the other side too until crisp. Remove and drain onto a paper towel.
  13. Brush the rolls on the inner sides lightly with oil or butter. Grill them in the oven or a on a grill or a griddle until golden and a little crunchy.
  14. To make the spread, add 1 tsp cajun seasoning to the mayonnaise and mix well.
