Ingredients

• 1 bunch coriander
• 1⁄2 bunch mint
• small handful cashews or peanuts
• 2in piece root ginger
• ½ tsp cumin seeds
• 2 tbsp lemon juice
• salt
• oil
• ¼ onion, finely chopped
• small handful frozen peas and sweetcorn
• 2 garlic cloves
• ⅛ cabbage head, finely chopped
• 1 carrot, grated
• 9oz paneer, grated
• frozen spring roll wrappers

Method

1. Blend the coriander bunch, mint, cashews or peanuts, root ginger piece, cumin seeds, lemon juice and salt together into a smooth chutney and set that green sauce aside.
2. Heat a little oil in a frying pan over medium heat and fry the finely chopped onion until it softens and turns slightly golden.
3. Add the frozen peas and sweetcorn to the onion and cook the mixture, stirring, for about a minute.
4. Stir the garlic cloves and extra ginger and chilli flavour from the filling mixture through the pan for 2 minutes, until the raw edge cooks off and the pan smells fragrant.
5. Add the finely chopped cabbage and grated carrot to the peas and cook for another 2 minutes, softening the vegetables slightly while they keep some crunch.
6. Take the filling off the heat and stir in the grated paneer and fresh coriander while the vegetables are still warm, adding a squeeze of lemon juice before leaving the mixture to cool completely.
7. Lay a spring roll wrapper with one corner pointing toward the body, place a spoonful of the cooled paneer filling in the centre, fold the bottom corner over it, fold in both sides, and roll the parcel tightly toward the top corner, sealing the edge with a little water.
8. Repeat the wrapping with the remaining wrappers and filling until all the rolls are formed.
9. Fry the paneer spring rolls in hot oil in a deep pan or wok until the wrappers turn crisp and golden, drain the rolls briefly, and serve them hot with the coriander chutney.
