Spring Roll & Samosa Pastry – super thin
Servings: 12 Wrappers
Ingredients
- Plain flour 1/2 Cup (8 tbs)
- Corn starch 1?4 Cup (4 tbs)
- Salt 1/4 Teaspoon
- Water 1/2 Cup (8 tbs) (or as needed)
Things You Will Need
- 1. A good quality non-stick pan
- 2. A medium sized flat brush
- 3. A pizza cutter - to cut the crude edges off the prepared wrapper or pastry
- 4. A mix of 1 teaspoon of oil and 1 teaspoon of water - for greasing the pan (as needed)
Instructions
GETTING READY
- 1. In a small bowl take a mix of water and oil and keep aside, which can be used later for greasing the pan before preparing the pastry sheets.
- 2. In a mixing bowl take flour, corn starch and salt and mix them together.
- 3. To this dry mixture, add water as needed slowly and gradually mixing to get a lump free smooth batter.
MAKING
- 4. Take a non stick pan, grease it with the mix of oil and water using a kitchen towel. Place the pan on a low heat.
- 5. Using the brush spread the batter into a very thin layer onto the non-stick pan and let it cook for a few minutes. When it is done, using a spatula the pastry sheet can be peeled off easily from the pan. Wipe the pan clean with the kitchen cloth before spreading the batter every single time.
- FINALIZING
- 6. Using a pizza cutter cut off the uneven edges of the prepared wrapper or pastry sheet. The prepared wrappers can be cut into square shapes as desired.
- SERVING
- 7. The prepared wrappers can be rolled (with a filling of your choice), sealed and deep fried in oil to prepare spring rolls or samosas and served warm.
- TIPS
- The prepared pastry sheets need to be covered with a damp cloth to make sure that they do not get dry.
- Spray some oil between the pastry sheets before stacking them to store in the freezer. This would make it easier to separate the sheets after defrosting before use.
