Step-by-Step Recipe
Step 1: Prepare the Masala Maggi Filling
Heat 1 tbsp oil in a pan. Add chopped onions and sauté until translucent.
Add capsicum, carrots, and sweet corn. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes. Don’t overcook – keep the crunch.
Pour in 2 cups of water and bring it to a boil.
Add the Maggi noodles along with the tastemaker masala.
Sprinkle chili flakes and garam masala. Cook until the noodles are almost dry. Make sure the mixture is not watery.
Garnish with fresh coriander. Let it cool completely.
For extra richness, you can also add paneer or cheese. Step 2: Assemble the Spring Rolls
Thaw the spring roll sheets if frozen. Keep them covered with a damp cloth.
Take one sheet, place a spoonful of the cooled Maggi filling in the center.
After folding in from the sides, roll tightly. Seal the edge with the maida-water paste.
Repeat with the remaining sheets.
Step 3: Fry the Rolls
Heat oil in a deep frying pan on medium heat.
Gently slide in the rolls, a few at a time. Do not overcrowd.
Fry until golden and crisp on all sides.
Remove and place on tissue paper to absorb excess oil.
