Instructions:
-
Prepare the Mutton Filling:
- Begin by mincing the mutton. To do this, place the mutton pieces into a food processor or a Preethi Turbo Chop. Pulse the meat until it is coarsely ground, ensuring that it retains some texture.
- Heat a pan on medium flame. Add the finely chopped onions and sauté until they turn golden brown. This step brings out a rich sweetness that will balance the spices in the filling.
- Add the chopped garlic and ginger to the pan, and sauté for another 2 minutes until the raw smell disappears.
- Stir in the green chillies, turmeric powder, red chilli powder, coriander powder, cumin powder, and garam masala powder. Let the spices cook for 2-3 minutes, allowing them to release their aromatic flavors.
- Now, add the minced mutton to the pan. Cook the mutton on medium heat, stirring occasionally to prevent it from sticking. Continue cooking until the mutton is fully cooked and browned, about 10-12 minutes.
- Season the mixture with salt to taste. Once the mutton is cooked, add the chopped mint leaves and stir well. Turn off the heat and set aside to cool.
-
Prepare the Spring Roll Wrappers:
- In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, corn flour, salt, and water. Whisk the ingredients together until you achieve a smooth batter. It should be slightly thick but pourable.
- Heat a non-stick pan or a crepe pan on medium heat and lightly grease it with a small amount of oil. Pour a small ladleful of the batter onto the pan, swirling it to form a thin, even layer.
- Cook the wrapper for 1-2 minutes until the top surface sets but does not brown. Flip the wrapper carefully and cook for another 30 seconds on the other side.
- Remove the wrapper from the pan and set it aside to cool. Repeat the process with the remaining batter.
-
Make the Flour Paste (for sealing):
- To prepare the flour paste, mix 2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour with a little water in a bowl. Stir until it forms a smooth, glue-like paste. This paste will be used to seal the edges of the spring roll wrappers.
-
Assemble the Spring Rolls:
- Lay the cooled wrappers flat on a clean surface. Place a spoonful of the cooled mutton filling at one edge of each wrapper.
- Carefully fold the sides of the wrapper over the filling, then roll it tightly, sealing the edges with the flour paste to prevent the filling from spilling out during frying.
-
Fry the Spring Rolls:
- Heat oil in a deep frying pan or wok over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, carefully slide the spring rolls into the oil, a few at a time, to avoid overcrowding.
- Fry the spring rolls until they are golden brown and crispy, turning occasionally to ensure they cook evenly on all sides. This should take about 3-5 minutes.
- Remove the spring rolls from the oil and place them on paper towels to drain excess oil.
-
Serve:
- Serve the Minced Mutton Spring Rolls hot with your favorite dipping sauce, such as mint chutney or sweet chili sauce.
