Spring Rolls need no introduction.
It is one of the most popular fried snack/starter that my children love to order when eating out. Usually, a lot of shredded cabbage is used as a filling for the spring rolls. But I do not stick to only cabbage and try different vegetable fillings. They turn out super tasty.
One such super tasty spring roll recipe that I make is the Tofu Carrot Spring Roll. I am delighted to share the recipe with all of you.
As with many of my recipes, this recipe is also easy to prepare and has a long shelf life. You can prepare the filling and shape the spring rolls in advance and store them in the refrigerator (in the freezer compartment) for weeks. They stay good even up to a month. You can remove them from the freezer just before you fry them and consume hot.
It is a great party snack, lunch box snack or a tea time accompaniment.
