What comes to your mind when you think of cylindrical-shaped deep-fried snacks featuring vegetables enclosed in thin wrappers? Well, I have made it pretty clear that these snacks are our all-time favourite spring rolls. Spring rolls are a gem of Asian food; we cannot deny this. These are best enjoyed with a dipping sauce that varies from country to country. Let us know a little about it. 

 Spring rolls have said to be invented by the Chinese and date back to the time of the Eastern Jin Dynasty. At that time, the spring rolls looked more like pancakes. This snack was made to commemorate the first day of spring. As time passed, the snack evolved and some cooks started rolling them into the shape they are in today. Not many people know but these deep-fried snacks filled with cabbage and veggies symbolize wealth and represent gold bars because of their appearance.  

Traditional spring rolls in China have vegetable stuffing while the spring rolls in the Philippines and Indonesia have meat filling. Moreover, the Thai spring rolls aren’t deep fried but rather enjoyed with peanut sauce while Vietnamese spring rolls have seafood and a different type of dipping sauce. 

Undoubtedly, veg spring rolls can be a perfect snack for kitty parties or any get-together. On this happy note, we have shared a recipe of veg spring rolls by Chef Ranveer Brar. Believe me, this recipe is something you just cannot afford to miss!
