Meat Rolls (Kerala bakery style)

As a child, whenever I used to go to Mallapally town bakery with my parents, my eyes will go to the meat roll tray. I just used to love it,.....still do. Once I asked my mom if she knows how its made and she said "its very easy...its just beef cutlet mix inside bread and deep fried. Once I came to Chennai, I used to miss it as only spring rolls were available in the bakeries there. So from then on, I started making this at home and my son will forego dinner if I make this. He even takes this as his school lunch!!!!
