Chicken Spring Roll

Spring rolls of different shapes, sizes and fillings have been a popular snack in Asia for centuries. It is believed that spring rolls originated from China. It was a seasonal food consumed during the spring, started as a pancake filled with the new season's spring vegetables, a welcome change from the preserved foods of the long winter months.Today I am sharing a very easy and quick spring roll recipe.I am sure you will love it.The best part of spring roll stuffing is that you can fill it up with any winter veggies, sprout, fish and meat and make it as healthy as you can just keep in mind that the stuffing you put in is dry or else it will make the spring roll wrapper soggy and then it's tough to fry. In today's recipe if used a simple yet yummy stuffing,  you can even use leftover chicken to make this stuffing. Enjoy Chicken spring roll.



Chicken Spring Roll

Ingredients
  • 10 spring roll sheet
  • 1 cup cooked chicken shredded
  • 1 onion finely chopped
  • 1 bell pepper finely chopped
  • 1tsp soy sauce
  • to taste salt n pepper
  • 1 cup oil for frying
Cooking Directions
  1. In a bowl take shredded chicken, onion, bell pepper, soy sauce, salt n pepper. Mix well .Defrost the wrapper for 30 minutes before using or as per package instruction. Take each wrapper on the work surface in a rectangular way. Place 1 tbsp of stuffing in one end of the wrapper now roll tight and then fold from the left n then from right. Make a envelop Finally roll it completely and seal the edge using a little cornflour/wheatflour-water mixture. Heat the oil in a deep non- stick pan and deep-fry, 2 rolls at a time on a medium flame, till they turn golden brown in colour from all the sides.Then place them all in a kitchen paper so the excess oil get absorbed.Now place them on a plate and serve immediately with your favorite hot sauce. I serve it with Thai chilly garlic sauce.
  2. For those who think it is quiet tough to fold the spring roll , you can put the stuffing and then fold like a triangle. It look quiet interesting, and then fry. Quick fix if you are in hurry or not too confident to fold spring roll correctly. Have fun with your folds and enjoy delicious crisp rolls or triangles..=P =D.

Momos/dimsum/wanton is a very healthy snack.  It is made in Nepal, Bhutan and china etc. It has become street food in India. It is eaten steamed or fried with very spicy chutney.  Here below is its full recipe:
Ingredients
2 cups of all purpose flour/maida
1/2 tsp of salt
2/3 cup of water
4 cups of finely chopped cabbage
1.5 cups of grated pumpkin or carrot
1 cup finely chopped green onion leaves
1 finely chopped onion
1 tsp of grated ginger
1/2 cup of finely chopped cilantro
1/2 cup of grated cottage cheese or tofu (optional)
1 tsp of sugar salt to taste
1 tsp of light soy sauce
1 tsp of dark soy sauce
1 tsp of black pepper powder
2 tbsp of oil
Method
1. Take maida/All Perpose Flour and salt in a  big bowl.  Make a soft dough with 2/3 cup of water.  This much water is sufficient for 2 cups of maida. Smooth it with little bit or generously greasy hands.  Now keep it rest for 10 minutes covering with wet cloth.  On wet cloth
2.  Finely chop the cabbage in vegetable chopper.  Grate the pumpkin or carrot. Finely chop the spring onion leaves with knife. Spring onion white bulb and onion can be chopped in chopper too.
3.  Take the chopped cabbage, ginger and pumpkin/carrot in a cloth and squeeze out all the water from it.

4.  Take 2 tbsp of oil in a frying pan. Add onion and cook it for few minutes till translucent. After that add cabbage and pumpkin or carrot. Next add salt, sugar, black pepper powder and both the soy sauces and stir well. Flame should be high. Dry the water while stirring. Remove from heat.  Now add green onion leaves and cilantro and mix. Stuffing is ready.
5. Divide the dough into 25 pieces.  If making bite size, then divide it into 45 to 50 pieces.  Now make the balls out of it by rounding between both the palms.
6.  Now roll one ball and stuff the 1.5 spoons of vegetables while making its pleats. Make it any shape. Roll and stuff all the dough balls like wise. 
7.  Next boil the water in rice cooker or any other pot.  Put the momos/ dimsum on a greased steam basket with little distance.  Keep it on the boiling water in rice cooker and close the lid.
8.  Steam it for 6-7 minutes till transparent. After steaming let it cool completely so that we can fry it.
9. Heat oil in a frying pan/karahi.  Fry all the steam momos in medium hot oil.
10. Fried momos/dimsum are ready to serve. These are served very hot.
Tips
1. Vegetables can be used of one's choice.  Generally cabbage and carrot are used.  But here I have used pumpkin. 
2. It can be steamed in any pot  e.g pressure cooker, rice cooker steamer etc.  Here I have steamed in steam basket on rice cooker.  It can be kept on momos plate on a rack.  Momos plate is a plate with holes.
3.  If making it in advance, Keep it in a tray and cover it with slightly wet cloth then wrap the tray with cling film. Then cover with any other big tray. Keep it in the refrigerator.  Fry in medium hot oil till crisp.

Pinwheel samose is  prepared with the same ingredients which we use in making samosas. The difference between the two is of its wrapping, and of course  its shape too.  Samosas are made in triangle shape while pinwheel samosas are made in round wheel shape.

1/2 tsp of ajvain
1/4 cup of oil
1/3 cup of water to knead flour

3. Mix the whole mixture properly.
4 .Now microwave it for 3 minutes and stir.
5. Next add tomato ketchup and stir.  
Dough
Take the all purpose flour in big plate or bowl.  Add ajvain and salt.  Now mix the oil with the flour rubbing it by hands. Bow make a stiff dough with 1/3 cup of water.  Keep it rest for 15 minutes.
Preparing rolls
1. Divide the dough in two balls.  Make smooth balls out of it.  Now roll it on chopping board/kitchen counter in a rectangle or square shape.  See in the collage below. 
2.  Now spread the potato mixture on it and slightly roll above potato mixture to make it smooth. Sorry, I forgot to take photo of this step. It is missing in collage.
3. Next roll it tightly. Wrap this roll in cling film and roll it with hands on the board. 
4.  Now remove the wrap and cut it into pinwheel samosas pieces.
5.  Press each piece between the palms very gently. 
6.  Preheat the OTG for 15 minutes on 190 degree C with greased tray.
7.  Grease each pin wheel samosa with milk or oil.
8.  Place it on greased tray on  and bake it on 190 degree C till light brown.  I placed the tray on middle rack.  Mine took 35 minutes.  Turn in between and keep an close eye on it.  Baking time may be vary oven to oven. 
9.  Take out from the oven when it is golden brown.
