Ingredient Notes
• 1 cup grated paneer: Use fresh paneer for best texture, or opt for store-bought to save time.
• 2 tablespoons besan (gram flour): This helps to bind the filling and adds a nutty flavor.
• 1 pound spring roll wrappers: Available in the frozen section, these thin wrappers crisp up beautifully.
• 1/2 cup chopped fresh coriander: Adds a bright, fresh note; parsley can be used as a substitute if needed.
Step-by-Step Instructions
- Step 1: In a bowl, combine grated paneer, besan, and chopped coriander, mixing well to form a thick filling.
- Step 2: Take a spring roll wrapper and place a spoonful of the filling near one edge, folding it tightly.
- Step 3: Seal the edges with a little water and repeat until all the filling is used.
- Step 4: Heat oil in a pan and fry the rolls until golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes on each side.
Things I’ve Learned
