Veg and Non Veg Spring Rolls

Spring Rolls
Depending on your taste, you can either make a veg spring roll or a non-veg spring roll.

First, note the ingredients to make the wrap.

Spring Roll Wrap
Flour - 1 cup
Corn flour - 1/2 cup
Oil - as required
Salt - as required
Cold water - as required

To prepare the wrapper,
Sift the flours and salt together.
Add oil and water to knead the dough.
The end result should be smooth and slightly elastic.

Keep aside, covered, for 15-30 mins.

Make small balls and roll into circles.

Heat a pan and roast the circles for 1-2 secs on each side

Do the same for all balls and keep aside, covered with a moist cloth, while you prepare the fillings.

Non-Veg Filling for the spring rolls
Chicken - cut thinly into small strips.
Depending on the rolls. For the above measuring of wrap, you will need a cup of chicken

Onion - 1
chillies - 3-5 as per the spiciness of the chillies
Garlic - 2 cut thinly as the chicken
Ginger - optional
Pepper - as required
Salt - as required
Oil - as required

To prepare the filling,
Marinate the chicken strips with pepper, salt and little oil.
Keep aside.

Heat oil in pan.
Add in the onions and saute till soft
Add garlic and ginger. Saute till light brown.

Add in the marinated chicken strips.

Cook till ready.

Veg filling for Spring Rolls
Onion - 1
Beans - depending on the size and you liking. i'd take 5
Bean sprouts - To give that chinese taste if you like
Carrot - depending on your liking
Cabbage - if you like.
Capsicum - hmm... this one is not optional as it helps to distinguish the veggie taste.
white pepper and black pepper - as you like
Salt - as required
Sugar - as required (optional)
Soy sauce - as required
Oil - as required

Note : Actually the different veggies add different tastes and texture when you bite into the spring rolls. And hence, I strongly recommend that you choose the veggies to your liking and not strictly as stated here.

To prepare the filling,
Heat oil in a pan,
Add onion and cook till soft.
Add veggies and took till it is not raw and not overcooked.
Add the capcisum as well.
Add the peppers, salt, sugar and soy sauce.

Now there you go!

How to wrap spring rolls

The wrapping part is tricky. I bet you will get it right from the second on onwards.

You will have to cut the circles into squares, first.
Put in the filling; not too much, not too little.
Cover from each side and the bottom and then do a roll.
Take it up with your hands and then seal the edges on the top.
To seal, you can actually use cornflour paste (1tsp cornflour dissolved in 1tsp flour).

Now you can keep this in the fridge / chiller, covered in clingfilm, till you are ready to cook.

Serving Suggestions

Deep fry till golden brown and serve hot for tea/coffee with chilli / tomato sauce.

How you want to garnish is up to you :D
