Ingredients
  

For the Rolls:

  • 3 Tbsp Olive oil
  • 1 medium Onion chopped
  • 3 cloves Garlic minced
  • 3 small Yukon Gold potatoes peeled and diced
  • 1 cup Shredded carrots
  • 1 cup Green peas frozen or canned
  • 1 tsp Garam masala
  • 2 tsp Curry powder
  • 1/2 tsp Turmeric
  • 1/2 tsp Salt
  • 1/2 tsp Ground cumin seeds
  • 1/4 tsp Cayenne pepper
  • 1/2 cup Dairy-free yogurt plain, for dipping
  • 1+ cup Fresh Thai basil or Cilantro for garnish
  • 1/2 cup Mint leaves
  • 1 Jalapeño pepper optional

Equipment

  • Non-stick skillet
  • Large Mixing Bowl
  • Sharp knife
  • Rolling mat or clean surface
  • Serving Platter

Method
 

Stepwise Method:
  1. In a non-stick skillet over medium heat, add olive oil. Once heated, add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
  2. Peel and dice the Yukon Gold potatoes into small cubes. Add them to the skillet with a splash of water, cover, and steam for about 10 minutes until tender.
  3. Add shredded carrots and green peas to the skillet. Sprinkle in garam masala, curry powder, turmeric, salt, ground cumin, and cayenne pepper. Mix well and cook for another 5 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool.
  4. Fill a large shallow dish with warm water. Submerge a rice paper sheet for about 10-15 seconds until pliable, then lay it on a clean surface.
  5. Place a spoonful of the filling towards the bottom of the rice paper. Fold the sides inward and roll tightly from the bottom to the top. Repeat with remaining sheets and filling.
  6. In the same skillet, heat a little more olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the rice paper rolls seam side down and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden and crispy.
  7. Transfer the rolls to a serving platter. Serve with dairy-free yogurt mixed with chopped fresh herbs for dipping.

Notes

  • Ensure you don't soak the rice paper too long to prevent tearing.
  • Be careful not to overfill the rolls to avoid bursting.
  • Keep the skillet hot enough to prevent sticking.
  • Watch the heat to avoid burning the rolls; medium-high is best.
