Instructions
Place a frying pan over a medium high heat and add a little oil.
1 tbsp oil
Add the onion and garlic and fry until softened. You want then to cook without going brown.
1/2 large onion,
3 cloves garlic
When ready, add the carrots and cook until they are tender.
1 large carrot
Add a small pinch of salt, green chillies, the mashed potatoes, chili flakes and the tuna to the pan.
250 grams Tuna,
2 medium potatoes,
1 tsp chilli flakes,
1/2 tsp salt,
2 medium green chillies
Mix everything thoroughly.
When combined, add the leek and black pepper and mix gently this time. Cook for about another few minutes.
1/2 cup leek,
1/2 tsp black pepper
Taste to check if seasoned correctly.
Remove the mixture from the pan and allow to cool. Its a lot easier to handle when cold.
In a glass bowl, add the milk, flour, salt and water together and whisk to create a smooth batter. (No lumps)
1/2 cup milk,
240 grams flour,
1 1/2 cup water
I use a small non stick frying pan for this next bit.
Place the pan over a medium heat and when hot add a ladle of the batter mixture.
Swirl the pan around to achieve a level even coating pancake. Don't forget, the pancakes need to be thin so dont use too much batter each go.
Cook each pancake until its cooked (about a minute or so).
Place the pancakes onto a warmed plate whilst preparing the rest.
When the pancakes are ready, place a single one onto a flat surface.
Place about 2 1/2 - 3 tablespoons of the mixture into the centre.
Fold the bottom flap (nearest you) to the centre, the the two side edges together and finally the top to create a spring roll look.
Repeat with the remaining pancakes and mixture until all used storing the rolls on a plate.
Turn on your fryer and heat the oil.
Oil
Using two shallow dishes, pour the batter into one and your homemade breadcrumbs into the other.
Carefully dip a roll into the batter mixture and then into the breadcrumb mixture making sure they are evenly coated.
Breadcrumbs
Carefully add to the hot oil and cook until golden brown.
I do three rolls at a time so they are cooking while I prepare the next three.
Keep the rolls warm and serve immediately with dips for a superb meal.
