Avocado egg rolls



I had these rolls for the first time in 'Cheesecake Factory' and have become a huge fan of them since....I tried  recreating them at home and they turned out to be good :) Here's the recipe...

Ingredients:


  • Avocados - 4
  • Store bought egg roll wraps / spring roll wraps
  • Green chillis - 2-3(depends on your taste) minced
  • Onion - 1/2 an onion-finely chopped
  • Cilantro - a few sprigs finely chopped
  • Sun dried tomatoes - 2-3 wedges diced
  • Salt - to taste
  • Pepper - to taste
  • Oil - for deep frying

Directions:
  • Dice the avocados and place the diced avocados in a mixing bowl.
  • To this,add the diced tomatoes, minced chillis,chopped onions,cilantro,salt and pepper and mix well. Mash the avocado with the back of a spoon,but make sure that it still remains a little chunky.
  • Place a tablespoon full of this mixture in the center of the wrap & fold it into the shape of a spring roll. You can find the directions on the cover of the wraps itself. :)
  • Heat oil in a pan and once the oil is hot, drop in the rolls and fry till they turn golden brown.
  • Serve hot with a sweet and sour cilantro+cashew sauce.

Ingredients for the cilantro+cashew dipping sauce:

  • Cilantro - 1.5 cups
  • Cashew - 1/2 cup
  • Coriander powder - 1 tsp
  • Cumin powder - 1 tsp
  • Tamarind pulp - 1 tsp
  • Balsamic vinaigrette - 2 tbsp ( this has the vinegar,olive oil and the herbs,so I did not have to add the ingredients separately.  :P)
  • Garlic - 1 pod 
  • Salt - to taste
Directions:
  • Grind all the ingredients together into a coarse paste and voila you have your dipping sauce ready!
