Veggie Spring Rolls

I was jus Sorting out things in my Freezer and found some pastry sheets. Poor Thing, its almost there for a month, so i decided to use it.

Veg Spring Rolls my favorite starter. I have tried it doing using Pastry Sheets as well as Homemade Wheat flour dough. Though both tasted same, the look/texture was much different.

Ingredients

Pastry sheets - # According to the no, of spring rolls u want. if u r going to make 10 rolls, u need 10 sheets.
Oil for deep frying

For the Stuffing
Cabbage - 1/2cup shredded
carrot - 1/2 cup shredded
potatoes - 1 no, boiled and cubed.
Chilli powder - 1 tsp
salt to taste

Method
Cook carrot, cabbage with little water. Strain the excess water. Strain it completely, if not spring roll will be come messy. Put the boiled veggies in a thin cloth and squeeze out completely.
Alternatively i dry roasted it in a kadai for a minute or two or till the moisture evaporates. Add chilli powder and salt and toss well.
Now take a pastry sheet. take a spoonful of veggie mixture keep it at one corner and start rolling.roll tightly. use a bit of water to seal the ends.




Deep fry in oil.

Using Wheat flour dough

Wheat flour - 1 cup
salt to taste.

Make a dough, not so loose and not so stiff. Divide them into balls, 1 cup gives approx 3 -4 balls.using a rolling pin roll it in to thin sheet, fill the stuffing and deep fry.






Serve with Sauce or Mint chuntney
