Puri Bhaji Spring Roll/ पुरी भाजी स्प्रिंग रोल

Prepare the Puri Dough: Start by mixing all-purpose flour, semolina, salt, and baking soda in a large bowl. Add water gradually and knead into a smooth, firm dough. Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for about 15 minutes. Time taken: 15 minutes

Prepare the Potato Filling: While the dough is resting, heat a little oil in a pan. Add cumin seeds and let them splutter. Add chopped onions and green chilies, and sauté until golden brown. Add ginger-garlic paste, followed by turmeric, red chili powder, and garam masala. Cook for a minute, then add mashed boiled potatoes and mix well. Season with salt and lemon juice, and stir in fresh coriander leaves. Let the mixture cool. Time taken: 10 minutes

Roll the Puri Dough: Divide the dough into small portions. Roll each portion into a ball and flatten it into a small disc using a rolling pin. Roll out the dough evenly, making it slightly thicker than regular puris. Time taken: 10 minutes

Assemble the Spring Rolls: Place a spoonful of the potato filling in the center of each rolled-out dough. Fold the edges over the filling and roll it up tightly to form a spring roll shape. Ensure the edges are sealed well so the filling doesn’t spill out. Time taken: 10 minutes

Fry the Puri Bhaji Spring Rolls: Heat oil in a deep frying pan or kadhai. Once the oil is hot, gently slide the spring rolls into the oil and fry until golden brown and crispy on all sides. Remove them from the oil and drain excess oil on a paper towel. Time taken: 5-7 minutes

Serve and Enjoy: Serve the Puri Bhaji Spring Rolls hot with your favorite chutney or sauce. They’re crispy on the outside, with a flavorful potato filling inside, perfect for any meal! Time taken: 2 minutes

Total Time: Approximately 42-45 minutes
