Chicken Masala Indianised Spring Roll- Global Kadai

This is the Indianised version of the Spring Rolls. I used Chicken mince n made a spicy masala, n used them as filling for Spring Rolls. I usually make this filling for making Murtaba or Stuffed Parotta but omitted the egg here. You can use this filling to make samosas n sandwhiches too. Didnt have enough time to decorate them, too the photograph in a hurry.
