🍳 Instructions:

1. Prepare the Filling:
   • Heat 1–2 tbsp oil in a pan.
   • Add chopped onions and sauté until soft.
   • Stir in minced ginger and garlic; sauté until aromatic.
   • Add minced chicken and cook until it changes color and is fully cooked.
   • Add grated carrot, chopped capsicum, and mushrooms. Sauté until vegetables are tender.
   • Season with salt, black pepper, sugar, soya sauce, and chilli sauce.
   • Cook for another 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until everything is well combined and aromatic.
   • Let the mixture cool to room temperature.
2. Prepare the Rolls:
   • Mix maida and water to make a smooth paste (this acts as glue).
   • Place a spring roll sheet on a clean surface.
   • Add 1–2 tbsp of the filling in the center.
   • Fold and roll tightly into a spring roll shape, sealing the edges with the maida paste.
3. Freeze and Fry:
   • Freeze the prepared rolls for at least 1 hour (this helps them hold shape during frying).
   • Heat oil in a deep pan. Fry the rolls on medium heat until golden brown and crispy.
4. Serve:
   • Serve hot with Schezwan sauce or your favorite dip.
