I had this cheese kurkure first time at a high end fusion Indian cuisine restaurant. It has since been replicated in a lot of menus. You just need some basic grocery staples to create a restaurant quality dish and impress friends and family.I have used bread to make the rolls in this cheese kurkure recipe but you can also make it with wanton wrappers or samosa patti . Its also a great make ahead dish. You can make the rolls and freeze them without frying for upto a month. And then fry as per requirement.
Bread, cheese and some vermicelli is essentially all you need to create a winning dish. The crispy savoury crust filled with the salty and melting cheese goes brilliantly with the sweet and spicy chilly dipping sauce.This is what I love so much about cooking – you don’t really need a lot of fancy things to create a fancy dish. All you need is to get your creative juices flowing. So lets start with recipe.

If you feel that the bread is too dry and is breaking off while rolling or staying too thick you can dampen it with some water but be sure to avoid making it over soggy.
  5. 5. Make a thick slurry of corn flour and all purpose flour.
