Making crispy delicious chicken Spring Rolls - Plus a bonus recipe for a quick snack!

Making spring rolls at home is a more recent addition to my recipe repertoire. We always made samosas and that was the default filled pastry but as the kids grew older and started going out spring rolls become more popular, especially the giant spring rolls served as starters at a popular fast food franchise here in the neighbourhood Pranesh lives in. The availability of the spring roll pastry allowed me to explore different combinations of fillings and this is my chicken and mushroom spring roll.
Ingredients
500g chicken breasts - cubed
2 small onions, finely chopped
250g button mushrooms, finely sliced
1/2 green pepper, cubed small
2 carrots finely sliced
Spring onions - use the roots and tops
Grind of salt and pepper - to taste
Sprinkle of smoked paprika
1 tbs chicken spice
1 tsp crushed ginger and garlic
1 tbs Sweet Chillie mixed with 1 tbs mayonnaise
A splash of olive oil
1 tbs soy sauce
1 tbs lemon juice
spring roll pastry - will use 12-18 sheets
2 tbs flour mixed with water for "glue"
Dipping sauce to serve with - we mixed tomato sauce, sweeet chillie and nandos peri peri

Hello Sweet Mama Heartfelt congratulations to you and Pranesh. You've earned every one of 'em! Keep up the fantastic work & amazing growth.You are great. Thank you for every recipe that you have shared. God bless!!! Your spring rolls seems n I`m sure delicious! What do spring rolls symbolize? Spring rolls (chun juan) take their name from the holiday for which they're traditionally prepared: the Spring Festival (chunjie), also known as Chinese New Year. The crisp golden rolls are meant to symbolize bars of gold and bring wealth and prosperity in the year to come.

[@GaithreeDeviLuckan]

Congrats aunty Devi can you please give me a recipe for chilli bites

[@GaithreeDeviLuckan]

Hi Bev. Here are 2 different methods to make bhajia: kzbin.info/www/bejne/kILbdnqKa9V2pLc

[@wesleydeochander1369]

Hi. I thought you would be making your own spring roll sheets. Maybe another video for that👍

[@GaithreeDeviLuckan]

We used to do that back in the day. Samosa Purr as well. But to get it thin and consistent takes a lot of work. I can perhaps show how it is done one of the days.

[@thelibraryismyhappyplace1618]

Aunty, to prevent the pastry drying out and cracking, cover it with the damp cloth.

[@GaithreeDeviLuckan]

Yes the cloth we had it on was damp which is normally fine but I think being cold and dry meant it dries out a bit faster...

[@anushareddy5551]

Can we add dhaniya in this recipe

[@GaithreeDeviLuckan]

Yes you can definitely customise to your taste.

[@sagi546]

Ma can i add doritos and cheese to mixture when the mixture is cold

[@GaithreeDeviLuckan]

The recipe is yours to personalise.
