Curried Corn Open Roll
by Tarla Dalal
An innovative filling of curried sweet corn bound together by milk thickened with bread, adds immense value to simple hot dog rolls.
Baked with a topping of cheese, the Curried Corn Open Roll is a visual treat, perfect to be served at garden parties.
It is interesting to note that the bread scooped out from the middle of the hot dog rolls is being used to thicken the corn filling, thereby imparting a wonderful texture to it and also avoiding wastage!

This open hot dog roll has an Indian touch to it as we add curry powder to it. I also like this technique of scooping the bread, as it allows us to add more filling on the bread. Great indian twist to a western recipe..
