Now let’s make the filling.

  • Heat oil in a nonstick pan. Add the ginger garlic paste and chili sauce and fry for 1 minute.

  • Add lemon juice and stir to combine. Allow to cool.

To make the paste,

  • combine all the paste ingredients and mix well.

To make the rolls

  • Heat enough oil for deep frying in wok or deep pot to 350 F.
  • On a lightly floured surface, take a ping pong sized ball of dough and roll out to a 6 inch round.
  • Spread a little of the paste on the rolled out dough and then sprinkle a little of the filling towards one end.
  • Put a little water around the perimeter of the dough to help seal the dough.
  • Now roll up and then pinch the ends to seal, dabbing with more water, as necessary, to seal
  • Place in hot oil and fry until golden brown on all sides, about 1 minute.
  • Drain immediately and serve with your favorite chutney.
