Spring rolls

Needed to do a salty healthy snack and had some crunchy veg ideas ..so went for this trial run of hopefully trying it as a shallow fry version ..well if it doesn't work then ..Make smaller ones instead, as long as doesn't drench the Oil (here they were slightly on oily side!!).you can use meat/fish fillings too .also you can make the simlple green chutney to go with it or raita ..which gives another level to these ,and healthy too.Or just simply can hav by them selves.(note that.these tend to loose there crunch after a while)

Steps
- 1
Ingredients :here used was only half amount of total veggies. Tomateoes and spices was used as shown.include the lemon at the end.and also you can add handful of peas or diced potoatoes if you prefer more bulkines in the spring rolls
- 2
Preps:the white cabbage.try to get as fine as you can with cabbage as it can take long to cook.(alternatively place in boiling water to break down before adding to the mixture.and drain out the water first). Chop the carrots.the red onion.the spring onions.(Only used quater of the totally deseeded and chopped green chilli).the corriander.the celery(optional).add an alternative veg or bit more spring onion if don't prefer/don't have celery
- 3
After chop chop chop..in the pan heat enof oil.add red onions..stir occassionaly until golden brown.then add celery and green chillies(if using).then add the tomatoes..break it down with wooden spoon
- 4
Simmer about 2 minutes.add the spices.stir and then add drained the sliced cabbage.add the other ingredients except lemon.add about a glass of water and cook more until cabbage is tender yet still bit slightly crunchy.then add corriander.then lemon.
- 5
Simmer more...until everything cooked thru and most (if not all) liquids hav reduced..set aside to cook..take your spring roll ready pastry squares..from freezer to defrost while the filling cools down.you can take about 15 sheets out and place on a board surface layered with wet towel or cloth so as not to dry out.
- 6
Now start prepping your square sheets : if the sheets are defrosted they very simply peel away (like in the pic) and are not breaking or sticking.
- 7
Take a sheet and place about 2 tablespoon filling along one of the corner of sheet.leave about 2 inches or so of space from the corner and make a short pile of filling across.then start to roll once first by bringing the corner slightly over the filling then tuck in the two sides(to look like an envelop now).
- 8
Opposite roll again and until the end..you will get some thing like this if sides are poking out tuck in more.and if there are slightly unclosed unoverlapped etc then glue them using the glue.
- 9
Try to make qwik edible glu.using some(flour half cup and bit of water quater cup.(check to thick spreadable consistancy)and apply as you fold sides and where you overlap the cover(at the envelope shape)sheet together.this will to keep things in hopefully u get it right!
- 10
You will get about 12 large spring rolls or 24 medium/small spring rolls.(here they where cut in halves)depending on size of your squares and amount of filling.
- 11
After you are done..you can start oiling your pan just an inch or so of oil to cover about half of the rolls diametr..(Or if deepfrying use about three times the oil).it is better to use this type of pan if the spring rolls are big like these so that they space enof and can easily turn over
- 12
Then fry each side try spoon oil over hot oil so that they evenly cook.turn other side and brown them....when done.place on couple of towelpaper to drain excess oil..Or. let cool on racks so as to be crunchie...then store in container only after totally cool.(note that they may still loose there crunch after cooling,so best eaten while warm.)also can serve at this point..bismillah.enjoy
