The credit for this recipe goes to my sister's mom-in-law (Mary Mathew). The recipe makes wonderful use of a traditional Pallappam Chatti. I have personalized the recipe with my own additions. It tastes awesome when eaten immediately :-)
Ingredients
1) All purpose flour -2 cups
2) Salt -per taste
3) 1-2 eggs
4) Water - to achieve medium thin consistency.
5) Oil to fry (extra virgin coconut oil,used in this case)
6) Filling of choice : Prepare any filling that you would use for Puffs/ Patties/ Spring rolls. I used a Beef filling with potatoes and chickpeas. Any combination of sauteed julienne vegetables (cabbage , carrots -thinly cut -would work well as well)
Method:
1) First prepare the filling and keep it ready. This can be prepared per taste. I prepared a beef fry (olarthiyade) and ground it with a baked potato and cooked chick peas. Grind ingredients as desired.

3) Preheat a Pallappam chatti (very popular in Kerala, India). If you do not have one, use a frying pan that is slightly deep. Pour one spoon of the batter into the center.
4) Swirl the pan/ chatti just like a Pallappam (basically hold the handles and rotate the pan clockwise) The batter will spread to form a thin pancake.
5) When the pancake is partially cooked flip it over and fill some filling. This can be done in a plate as well.
6) Fold the ends of the pancake to make a spring roll / puff as shown below.
7) Prepare additional rolls in the same mannerand keep them ready
8) Either deep fry the rolls (authentic spring rolls) or bake them in the oven (healthy version)
9) Your delicious spring rolls are ready to relish ..
Yummy!! And on behalf of my mom-in-law I say, Thank you for the credit :) :)
