Cabbage Spring Roll

           These are vegetarian spring rolls that can be served as appetizers or they can be had as light snacks anytime of the day. It is very simple to make and very nutritious and healthy too. Stuffing can be of any veggies available. They can also be made with boiled and shredded chicken for a non-veg. version.

          Here in this recipe I used assorted bell peppers along with onion, ginger and garlic. The flavouring agents are chili sauce, sesame oil, pepper, sesame seeds and some coarsely ground peanuts. So check out the step by step pictorial recipe to prepare this exotic dish.

• 4-5 cabbage leaves
• 1 cup assorted bell peppers, sliced
• 1 tbsp. oil

          Blanch the cabbage leaves in boiling hot water for a minute or boil them for 5 minutes if the leaves are thick. Drain them after they turn translucent. Refresh them in cold water and keep aside.

          Take each cabbage leaf and place 2 tbsp. of the stuffing on it, followed by 1 tsp. of the coriander leaves.
