by Food Corner

Sri Lankan food is

rich with different type of recipes and influenced by many other Asian foods. Chinese

dishes take a great place. This is one of the Sri Lankan recipes influenced by

Chinese cuisine. However, now this is purely Sri Lankan although these Chinese

rolls have its roots to Spring rolls, which is a popular Chinese food.

In Sri Lanka, we have a

variety of snacks and called as short eats. These Chinese rolls are one of

those delicious Sri Lankan short eats which is great with a cup of Ceylon Tea.

Whenever we visit Sri Lanka,

we eat lot of different short eats including Sri Lankan rolls. Sometimes I try

those short eats at home and this is one of them. Actually these photos are

from a batch of Chinese rolls I cooked in 2013 September. But, due to long

process to explain, I was really lazy to write the recipe. This is the same

with Biriyani recipe. Although I cook, I am lazy to share. I am lazy! I am really

lazy to type long recipes.

However, after about one

year, today I am in a mood to type this Sri Lankan Chinese Rolls recipe. Hope I

difficult to make these spring rolls at home.

You’ll only need few steps

to follow. Then it is easy to cook.

Just as a summary, preparing

of Sri Lankan rolls includes,

-Preparing a filling

-Preparing pancakes

-Make the rolls with the

filling

-Deep fry

-Serve and enjoy

Few tips to remember:

-I used canned tuna for

filling. However you can change the filling as your preference.

Add fish, it will be fish

rolls. Add mixed vegetables. It will be vegetable rolls. Mix some hardboiled

eggs, then those will be egg rolls.

-Always use freshly coarse

black pepper for a good taste. Although I have black pepper powder in my spices

rack, I always prefer to crush some pepper when I want. One of the secret for

most short eats are the fresh and aromatic taste of black pepper!

I have a small mortar and a

pestle, and it is easy to coarse some black pepper in few minutes.

Well, after my all tips and

tricks, here is the recipe for Sri Lankan Chinese rolls.

Enjoy!

Ingredients:

For the filling

Method

Step 1: Make the

pancake Batter

As a wrap, you can use store

bought spring rolls wraps.

Here I make them from

scratch. Traditionally the wrapping for Chinese rolls are pan cakes.

Below is how to make pancake

wraps.

First, sieve all-purpose

flour & baking powder together into a bowl.

Add beaten egg into this &

whisk well.

Gradually add milk and make the

pan cake batter. Avoid any lumps.

Adjust salt & add a

pinch of turmeric.

Whisk well again. Keep the

batter aside for about 10-15 minutes.

Step 2: Make the filling:

First boil potatoes

Peel the skin and roughly

cut into cubes.

Drain the can of tuna.

Heat oil in a frying

pan,when oil is hot add mustard seeds.

When mustard seeds start to

pop out, add onions, green chili and curry leaves.

Stir until the onions are

tender and start to emit aroma.

Then add tuna and cubed potatoes.

Mix well.

Allow to cook for a few

minutes.

Then add salt, crushed

pepper, chili powder, turmeric powder and stir until all are well mixed.

Cook another few minutes and

turn off heat.

Keep this mix aside and

allow cooling.

Filling for Chinese Rolls is

ready.

Step 3: Arrange the bread

crumbs and batter

In a bowl, beat the egg. Keep

aside. This is needed to cover the rolls.

In a plate,spread some plain

flour.Keep aside.

In another plate, spread

bread crumbs. This is to cover the rolls before deep frying.Keep aside.

Well,now we have prepared all

the required basic ingredients and things.

Now it is time to make the Chinese

rolls.

Here are final steps on how

to make Chinese Rolls. (The Sri Lankan style short eat)

Step 1: Make the Pancakes:

Strain the pancake batter before

making the pancakes.

This is to avoid any lumps.

This step will give you smooth pancakes.

Heat a nonstick pan over medium

heat for about 1 minute.

Then coat it with a drop of

cooking oil.

Once it is hot, spoon some

batter on it.

Swirl the pan to even distribute

the batter & to make a round shape.

Cook until lightly brown.

Remove to a plate.

Step 2: Make the rolls

This is an important tip.

To make best Chinese rolls

without any problem don’t allow your pancakes to become cool once prepared. That

means, you have to cook a pan cake, spread the filling on it, make the roll

ready to fill before proceeding to the next pan cake.

However, if you are quick

enough, make 4-5 pancakes and spread the filling on them.

Make rolls ready to fry. Then

proceed to the next pancake batch.

I used the 2nd

method, Ah! that means I am quick!

Now, back to preparing the

rolls.

Once a pancake is ready, immediately

spread about a spoon of filling onto cooked pancake.

Then roll it.

Before rolling, fold one

side. Then fold two opposite sides.

After that, roll it. Please

see the below pictures on how to roll these spring rolls.

Then coat this roll with

plain flour which we kept aside.

After that dip in beaten

egg.

Then roll it again on bread

crumbs and cover the rolls with bread crumbs.

Repeat the process with

remaining batter and the filling.

Prepare all the rolls for

deep frying.

Step 3:Deep frying

Ah, I am really happy now. We

are in the final step.

Simply heat some oil in a

deep frying pan or a thachchi.

When oil is hot, deep fry

the rolls.

When rolls are fried evenly

and golden brown, remove those to a kitchen towel.

Allow to drain any excess

oil.

Repeat with the remaining

rolls.

Step 4: Serve it

Once all the Chinese rolls

are deep fried, serve hot with some tomato sauce.

A ginger tea is well goes

with this. That is my favourite combination.

Enjoy!
