MINI CHICKEN & BELL PEPPER SPRING ROLLS

I just can't believe that it's been a week since I updated my blog! Whoa! See this is what happens when the 'Manavatti' ( gonna-be-bride) goes shopping! :D

It was actually shopping + a small vacation in Trivandrum. But lil did I know that I would come back with a terrible back pain. Went to the doc today and he said it was just a muscular pain...what ever ! All I know is I can't even brush my teeth! ACK!

This is one of my mom's signature snack and we always have atleast one packet ready in our freezer :) It is a super good make-ahead snack, all you need to do is thaw and fry them .I had tried making it 2 years ago for the first time, but it turned out to be something else ( shapewise ) BUT trust me the filling was delicious :)

Method:

For the wrapper:

• Mix everthing together and form a soft dough. Leave it aside for 10 mins.
• Divide them into lime sized balls and roll out into thin flat discs.
• Heat a flat pan, and cook them only on one side. Make sure you don't end up with dark brown spots on them because they will be too dry to roll up.
• Continue with the other wrappers in the same manner.

For the filling:

• Heat oil, and saute ginger garlic paste.
• Add the vegetables and mix well. Cover and cook them till they turn soft making sure you give them a good stir often.
• Add the soya sauce & salt.
• If you want it to be more spicy, add some black pepper powder.
• Use this to fill the wrappers.

Assembly:

• Put the filling on the uncooked side of the wrapper
• Check this video to see the rolling up of the wrapper with the filling inside .
• Deep fry and serve hot with a sauce of your choice.

I always try to stay away from these because I know I can never stop with 1 ! It remains crisp for few hours provided you don't leave them under a fan! :)

You can make these as tiny as our lil finger or slightly bigger. If it's the latter, you can cut them diagonally and serve!
