salt to taste

1 tsp of garam masala
Method
1.  Wash, and grate the big cucumber with greater which has big holes. Squeeze the  grated cucumber with hand or  take this grated cucumber in a cloth and squeeze it both hands just like we squeeze clothes.  There should not be left any water. Save this water in a bowl and use for kneading the dough.
2.  Take the wheat flour in a bowl and knead a soft dough with water+the squeezed water.  Keep if for rest for 10 minutes.
3.  Now add all the ingredients  to the grated and squeezed cucumber. Mix well.
4. Knead the dough again for few minutes till smooth.

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.
