Makes: 7
Any filling of your choice (Chicken, Egg, Paneer, Lamb ..)
Or
For the filling:
Ingredients
1 tablespoon oil
1 onion, finely chopped
6 French beans, very finely chopped
2 carrots (medium size), very finely chopped
4 tablespoon very finely shredded cabbage
½ piece capsicum
3 teaspoon soy sauce
¼ teaspoon salt (or to taste)
¼ teaspoon pepper powder (or to taste)
Method
Heat oil in a pan. Add chopped onion and fry until golden
brown. Add finely chopped vegetables (or minced meat). Stir fry for 5 minutes
on a low heat. Add soy sauce and mix well. Cover with a tight lid and cook on a
medium to low heat for 10 minutes. Sprinkle salt and pepper powder. Keep aside to cool for 10 minutes.
For the spring roll pastry:
Ingredients
Please use same measuring cup to measure flour and water.
1 cup / 200 ml / 8 oz all purpose flour / maida
2 teaspoon ghee
½ teaspoon salt
½ cup + 3 tablespoon
water
250 ml oil to deep fry
Maida paste to close the edges (dilute 1 tablespoon maida (plain flour)with 1 tablespoon water. Make a
thick paste and keep aside)
Method
In a wide bowl, mix maida , ghee and salt. Add ½ cup water
(add extra 1 – 2 tablespoon water if required)
and make a medium soft dough (not very soft like chapatti dough). Knead well for 5 –
7 minutes. Cover and keep aside in a container for half hour.
Final preparation:
Divide spring roll dough into 7 parts. Roll out each
portion very thinly to form a square shape or normal chapati of 13
cm (or make chapatis of 15 cm in diameter and cut each chapati into a square
shape of 13 cm x 13 cm).
This recipe step is very important.
Heat roti tawa on medium heat. Reduce the heat between medium and low. Toast
each side of the rolled roti very slowly. Do not allow to get golden brown spots (just warm the
rotis on both the sides). Remove from tawa and keep aside. Repeat this process
for remaining chapatti balls. This process helps the spring roll crispy.

Divide the stuffing into 7 portions. Place each potion on the chapatti just
below the centre, fold the bottom half over the stuffing. Fold the right side
towards the centre, do the same for the left side. The shape should look like
an envelop (or please see the photo above and prepare like that ) and seal the edges
tightly with paste made with the flour
and water.
.
Heat oil in a pan. Reduce the heat to medium and wait for 1
minute. Do not fry on high heat. Deep fry spring rolls (3 - 4 at a time) until
golden color on both the sides (approximate frying time for each side is 6 – 7
minute on a medium to low heat). Drain out from oil and place on kitchen towel to absorb extra
oil. Serve hot with tomato ketchup.
