Chineese Veg SpringRolls

Veg springrolls are a delicious snack and all time favourite among many kids. My method of preparing these springrolls may not be traditional. I will have a pack of springroll sheets in my freezer all year. Whenever there is leftover potaot sabji, which I usually prepare for dosa or chaptahi or sometimes I have used pavbhaji too as filling for springrolls. This one particularly made out of pavbhaji. I am still not ready to try this on my guests, but they all disappear within minutes after preparing, between my kids with tomato sauce or soy sauce.
