Kheema Egg Rolls are crispy egg rolls filled with spiced ground/minced meat, onions, and cilantro. I usually make around 50-60 and freeze most of them for quick snacks and/or appetizers/meals. My family seems to go through the batches like vultures! I mean I’m really not complaining because I know they love these Kheema Egg Rolls. I serve these for parties all of the time. I usually pair them with mint/coriander chutney or my famous spice chutney(recipe coming soon). The recipe is simple and it’s definitely a crowd-pleaser. If you prefer to bake instead of fry I suggest you preheat your oven to 450 degrees and bake for 15-20 minutes. For this particular recipe, I prefer frying because it just comes out better. I have also included instructions to freeze these babies! P.S you can easily substitute meat for soy crumbles or TVP. Tofu might get too watery so I do not recommend it in this particular recipe.

KHEEMA RECIPE
Kheema Egg Rolls
Ingredients
Filling:
- 2 cups cooked kheema Recipe link above
Wrapping:
- 1 Packet of Twin Dragon Egg Roll Wrappers defrost if frozen
- bowl of warm water
Frying:
- 4-5 cups canola/vegetable oil
Instructions
- Assemble Egg Rolls:
- On a flat surface lay a single egg roll sheet in the diamond position (see pictures).
- Dip your finger in the bowl or warm water and gently run it along all four sides of the wrapper.
- Place a tablespoon to 1.5 tablespoons of the kheema filling ¾ of the way down the egg roll.
- Bring the bottom of the spring roll sheet up.
- Next bring the right corner of the diamond shaped sheet towards the center of the egg roll and press down. Do the same with the left side.
- Starting from the bottom roll up until a spring roll shape is formed.
- Set aside on a platter or plate (cover with a dry towel)and repeat until all egg rolls are assembled. If you would like to freeze the egg rolls, place them in a zip lock bag in one layer. Remove all of the air and seal. Stack them in your freezer.
Frying Egg Rolls
- Heat oil in a deep pan on medium-high heat.
- Once the oil is hot- add in 3-4 egg rolls at a time. Make sure you turn them to ensure even cooking. *Do not add too many egg rolls at one time because the temperature of the oil will drop!
- Once the egg rolls are a nice golden brown- remove and drain on paper towels. Fry the rest of the egg rolls till done.
- Serve immediately with your favorite chutney.
Notes
*Twin Dragon Egg Roll Wrappers can be found at Walmart.
