For making rolls, take 2 small balls and make two puris. Seal both the puris with paste 1. Roll this puri into thin, oblong chapatti. Spread a tbsp of masala at one corner. Apply paste 2 to the edges of the chapatti. First close the sides and then roll from one end ( where the filling is kept) to the other end to form a cylinder.
