How to Make Veg Roll in Lockdown: A Street Style Crispy Roll Recipe
During the lockdown, when cravings for street food hit hard, making delicious homemade snacks like a veg roll can be a creative way to satisfy those munchies. With a few simple ingredients, you can whip up a crispy veg roll that is reminiscent of popular street stalls. Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to make this delightful dish.
Ingredients
For the Filling:
- 2 cups mixed vegetables (carrots, bell peppers, peas, potatoes – boiled and chopped)
- 1 small onion (finely chopped)
- 2 green chilies (finely chopped)
- 1-inch piece of ginger (grated)
- 1-2 tsp garam masala
- 1 tsp cumin powder
- 1 tsp coriander powder
- Salt to taste
- 2 tbsp oil
- Fresh coriander leaves (chopped, for garnish)
- Optional: Paneer or tofu for extra protein
For the Roll:
- 4-6 large chapatis or tortillas
- 2 tbsp all-purpose flour (maida)
- Water (as needed) to make a paste
- Oil for frying
For Serving:
- Chutneys (mint, tamarind, or your favorite)
- Onion rings or salad
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Filling
- Heat Oil: In a pan, heat the 2 tablespoons of oil over medium heat.
- Sauté Vegetables: Add the chopped onions and sauté until they become translucent. Add the green chilies and ginger, cooking for another minute.
- Add Spices: Mix in the boiled vegetables, garam masala, cumin powder, coriander powder, and salt. Stir well to combine and cook for about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
- Garnish: Add chopped coriander leaves to the filling and mix.
Step 2: Prepare the Rolls
Make the Paste: In a small bowl, mix all-purpose flour with a little water to form a thick paste. This acts as a glue to seal the rolls.
- Assemble the Rolls:
- Take a chapati or tortilla and place a generous amount of the vegetable filling at one end.
- Roll it tightly and tuck in the edges to prevent the filling from spilling out.
- Seal the end with the flour paste.
Step 3: Fry the Rolls
- Heat Oil: In a frying pan, heat enough oil to shallow fry the rolls.
- Fry the Rolls: Once the oil is hot, carefully place the rolls in the pan. Fry until they are golden brown and crispy on all sides. This usually takes about 4-5 minutes.
- Drain Excess Oil: Remove the rolls and place them on paper towels to absorb extra oil.
Step 4: Serve
Cut the crispy veg rolls diagonally and serve hot with your favorite chutneys. You can also accompany them with onion rings or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
Tips for the Perfect Veg Roll
- Customize the Filling: Feel free to add any vegetables or protein of your choice. Mushrooms, bell peppers, or even cooked lentils can add great flavor and texture.
- Spice Level: Adjust the number of green chilies according to your spice tolerance.
- Baking Option: For a healthier version, you can bake the rolls in an oven at 200°C (392°F) for about 15-20 minutes instead of frying.
Conclusion
Making veggie rolls during lockdown not only quenches your street food cravings but also brings a sense of joy and accomplishment. These rolls are versatile and can be enjoyed at any time of the day – be it a snack, lunch, or dinner. So gather your ingredients and start rolling!
