- Remove from heat and let the stuffing cool.
Assembling and Frying the Spring Rolls:
- Take a prepared wrapper and place a tablespoon of vegetable stuffing in the center.
- Apply a thin layer of maida paste around the edges of the wrapper to seal it.

Tips for Perfect Spring Rolls
- Wrapper Thickness: Ensure the batter is smooth and the wrappers are thin to get crispy rolls.
- Stuffing Preparation: Do not overcook the vegetables; they should retain some crunchiness.
- Sealing: Use enough maida paste to seal the edges properly to prevent the rolls from opening during frying.
- Frying Temperature: Fry the rolls on a low flame to ensure they cook evenly and become crispy.
- Variations: Add paneer or tofu for added protein or experiment with different vegetables according to your preference.
