Spring roll is one of the mostly ordered item for starters in restaurants. It is an easy to make starter in no time if you have the spring roll sheets. Perfect for parties and get together as it holds the crispiness for hours. I have referred here for the recipe.

Spring roll is basically a maida sheet filled with cooked veggies rolled and deep fried. Another one is Rice paper Spring Rolls, Rice paper sheets dipped in boiling hot water and filled with veggies and served as such with out frying them in a healthy manner.We love the spring roll prepared with maida pastry which is deep fried. So easy and crispy and tasty. Perfect snack for this winter with a cup of hot tea or coffee.
