Prepare the Filling:
- Heat a small amount of oil in a pan over medium heat.
- Add the blended spices (shallots, garlic, and red chilies) and sauté until fragrant.
- Incorporate the mashed tofu and diced carrots, stirring continuously. Add a splash of water to ensure the carrots cook through.
- Season with salt, Masako, sugar, and pepper to taste. Cook until the carrots are tender and the mixture is dry; adjust seasoning as necessary.

Assemble the Risol:
- Lay a sheet of risol pastry flat on a clean surface.
- Place about 2 tablespoons of the tofu and carrot filling at one end of the pastry.
- Fold the sides of the pastry over the filling, then roll it up tightly from the filling end.

Fry the Risol:
- Heat oil in a deep frying pan over medium heat.
- Carefully place the filled rolls into the hot oil, frying until golden brown and crispy on all sides.
- Remove the rolls from the oil and drain on paper towels to remove excess oil.
