Instructions
- To make beef filling:
- Marinate the cleaned beef with 1 tsp each, chopped ginger and garlic, 1 tsp chilli powder, 1/4 tsp turmeric powder, salt and curry leaves. Add 1/4 -1/2 cup of water to this and pressure cook till the beef is done.
- Separate the beef from the stock if there is any. Shred/mince the cooked beef using a mixie or food processor.
- Add all the spice powders and cook for 3-4 mins or till the oil starts appearing. Add cooked beef and salt and mix well.
- Add curry leaves and chopped coriander leaves and mix everything well. Check seasoning, add salt and pepper if required. Switch off the gas and let the filling cool to room temp.
- To make Pancake/Crepe:
- Combine flour, semolina, salt, hot oil and water in a blender. Blend till it becomes a smooth batter. Transfer to a bowl and let it rest for 10 mins.
- To make the Crepes/Pancake:
- Heat a frying pan/dosa pan and pour a ladleful of batter and make crepes. Cook both sides and transfer to a plate. Make sure you don't stack the crepes when its hot, it will stick together.
- To make the rolls:
- Place the filling as a line on the side of the crepe facing you. Make sure to leave some gap around the edges. Fold the left and right sides of the crepe/pancake over the mixture. Gently pull away the edge of pancake facing you and roll over the filling. Continue to fold the roll. Seal the edges using the flour paste/slurry mentioned in the notes.
- When you fill one spring roll, you can start making the next one.Dip the roll in lightly beaten egg whites and then roll it in breadcrumbs until fully coated. Heat a frying pan filled halfway with oil.
- Fry these rolls in the hot oil until golden and crisp.
Notes
Make a slurry using 1 tbsp maida with 1-2 tbsp water. Use this slurry to seal the edges of the meat rolls after rolling them.
You can prep these meat rolls and store in the freezer for upto a month. I usually thaw them before frying. You can also use chicken instead of beef for the filling.
