Spring Roll and a TAG!



Spring roll is a snack made with the Meat masala filled in pancakes. The pan cakes are filled with meat or vegetable masalas and then dipped in egg and then coated in breadcrumbs to give a very crispy and crunchy wrap and delicately spiced filling. This is one of the usual snacks made during Ramadan and is easy if you have the filling made ahead. This is not the regular Chinese spring roll with crispy pancakes, but a very modified and a different version that is made at home mainly during Iftar and to serve guests. Some call it ‘Churulappam’ since it is made by rolling the pancakes. With the below mentioned recipe, you will be able to make 14-16 rolls. I fried half and the rest I froze them for later use. So next time when I need to fry them, all I have to do is just defrost them and fry them.

Ingredients:
1 cup Plain Flour (150gms)
1 1/4 cup water
1 medium size egg
Salt to taste

For the filling:
1 heaped cup of Meat masala

For coating:
1-2 Eggwhites
Breadcrumbs- As required
Vegetable oil- To deep fry the spring rolls.

Preparation:

1. To make the batter, Mix all the ingredients well in a large bowl using a balloon whisk or Blend them in a blender until everything is blended without lumps.
2. Heat a small frying pan onto medium heat; pour ½ a ladle of batter to form circles of 5” diameter.
3. Just cook the pancake on one side ONLY and take them out.(The pancake will be cooked on both sides this way).Place them in a plate rubbed with oil. Place a heaped teaspoon of the masala on the uncooked side as shown in the picture. Place it in the top part from middle, an inch away from the sides. Fold both sides to enclose the filling in and then roll it completely to seal the filling in.
4. When you fill one spring roll, you can start making the next one.
5. Dip the roll in lightly beaten egg whites and then roll it in breadcrumbs until fully coated. I normally use the spoon or fork for this as it is quite messy when done with hand.
6. Heat a frying pan filled halfway with oil. Fry these rolls in the oil until golden and crisp.
7. Serve whilst warm with ketchup, chilli sauce, sweet chilli sauce, chilli garlic sauce etc.

Salaam Shabs...

I love to eat spring rolls. But to prepare them myself, that will have to wait for my mood! Hahaha...

p/s : The Dahlia cookies require quite a big amount of butter because the dough needs to be very soft to be able to press out of the mould.

lol..first of all..aa tag adipoli..I too have this marakkalphobia..:D..lol
n the rolls look darn good..We used to love meatrolls as kids n I thought its the same..but thats like simple dough with filling n fried..but this is cooked pancake..totally new to me..so wont it be soft??pottan chance ille?

Shabs.. said...

Varsha, i think that marakkal phobia is due to too much involvement in blogging:)...I know the one u r talking about, thats like a chappathi dough, which is rolled super thin right?...This is easier version, now followed by all back home rather than the other one which takes hell of time and patience. Potti ppokilla, gusthi pidikkathirunnal mathi...just handle it gently...lol:)

Since this spring rolls are coated in breadcrumbs and fried, they are very very crispy, but tasted very different from dough version.
