HOW TO MAKE EGG ROLL
Step 1 / 3 Saute The Filling For The Egg Roll
Egg Roll is the easiest thing to prepare as it is ready in very less time. Cut thick slices of onion and capsicum, grate the carrots, mince the ginger and keep aside. Take a tawa or frying pan and put it on medium heat. When it is sufficiently hot add one teaspoon of butter and the onions, carrots and capsicum. Cook on high flame for 2 minutes. Add salt, pepper, lemon juice, tomato ketchup, chilli sauce and cook for another one minute. Remove from fire and keep aside.
Step 2 / 3 Prepare The Egg-Chapati Covering
In a bowl, break the eggs. Add salt and pepper to taste and whisk well. Heat one tsp butter in the pan. Add half of the egg mixture and make an omelette. Put the chapati over it. Top it with the rest of the egg mixture and flip so that it is cooked on both sides.

Step 3 / 3 Add The Filling & Make The Roll
Spoon the cooked capsicum, carrot and onion mixture at the centre of the chapati and fashion it into a roll. Serve hot with tomato ketchup.
To enhance the taste, you can some grated cheese to your egg roll.
To make the egg roll healthier ,you can replace regular refined oil with a healthier oil or low-fat butter.
If you have high-cholesterol issues, then remove the yolk and whisk the egg whites to make this roll to avoid extra fats.
What Is An Egg Roll?
An egg roll is a fried appetizer that's found on countless Chinese-American restaurant menus. It consists of a thick, crispy wheat flour skin filled with shredded cabbage, pork, and other ingredients. Egg rolls are fried in hot oil, served warm, and usually dipped in duck sauce or soy sauce.
Why Are Eggs Rolls Called Egg Rolls?
Contrary to popular belief, egg rolls don't contain any eggs. So where does the name come from? Nobody quite knows, but there are a couple of theories. One legend holds that the popular appetizer is a twist on a dish called Dan Gun, which consists of ingredients (such as ham, sprouts, and mushrooms) wrapped in a thin omelet. Since omelets are made of eggs, the newer dish was called an "egg roll."
What's In An Egg Roll?
This egg roll recipe calls for a ginger- and garlic-packed filling of pork, cabbage, and carrots. The filling is stuffed in a store-bought egg roll wrapper, which is sealed with a flour paste and fried to crispy perfection in hot peanut oil.
Egg Roll vs. Spring Roll
Egg rolls and spring rolls are both cylindrical appetizers associated with Chinese cuisines, but there are few notable differences. Spring rolls are wrapped in thin flour or rice wrappers before being baked, fried, or left uncooked. Egg rolls, meanwhile, are wrapped in a thick wrapper that is then deep-fried.
Spring rolls, which have ancient Chinese origins, are usually stuffed with seasonal vegetables and sometimes chicken or shrimp. Egg rolls, which were likely invented in the U.S, are often filled with pork and veggies. The egg roll is an ancestor of the spring roll.
