Boil the mince meat, green peas and ginger-garlic paste, or take cloves of garlic and a piece of ginger, until it is done. If you are cooking in pressure cooker then wait for 5-6 whistles. On the other hand boil the potatoes and noodles. After boiling potatoes let it cool down. Then mash it nicely and keep aside.
In a food processor, grind the mince meat, peas and noodles. Grind till a smooth paste.
Transfer all the grind materials in a bowl, add mashed potatoes, chopped onions, coriander, green chilli finely chopped, cumin (zeera) powder, All spices powder/garam masala, cornflour, red chilli powder, vinegar, soya sauce and salt to taste. Mix well. Then start giving the oval shape or give shapes of your own interest. To avoid sticking of mixture to your hands apply refined oil in your palms then it won’t stick to your hands.
After giving the shapes, immediately put the kebab rolls in bread crumbs one by one. If you want it to be more crispy, you can first dip kebab rolls in egg then immediately to bread crumbs. It’s totally optional.
In a wok, heat the oil for frying. Then fry the kebab rolls 2-3 pieces together don’t overcrowd the wok else kebabs will break in pieces. Fry it on low or medium flame. If you fry on high flame it might burn the kebab rolls.
Now take in the paper towel and dry the kebab rolls.

Tip: Don’t put too much water in pressure cooker while boiling the mince meat and peas else it will become wet and you will find it difficult to bind and fry. If you are freezing the kebab rolls and want to fry it later then after taking out from the freezer bring it to the room temperature and then fry.
