Notes
For a perfect crunchy vegetable spring rolls, follow these tips and tricks:
You can use a ninja food processor for thinly ( julienne ) sliced vegetables. It saves time.
Don’t add too much corn flour to the vegetable filling as it makes it thick and gooey.
To seal the spring roll wrappers, make a slurry paste of maida ( all-purpose flour ) using water. Don’t make it too runny.
Once spring rolls are rolled and sealed, cover them with a cloth or kitchen paper towel. When the sheets get exposed to air, it will become dry.
Cook the vegetables in high heat for 2 minutes. Also add a little bit of sugar while sauting, as it retains the color and crunchiness of the vegetable filling.
