• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro
• 10 spring roll pastry sheets
• 2 cups oil for frying

Directions

Step 1

In a medium bowl, combine chickpea flour and water, whisk well to form a smooth batter and set aside.

Step 2

In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add cumin seeds and let them splutter.

Step 6

Cook for another 3 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in lemon juice and fresh cilantro. Let the mixture cool.

Step 7

On a clean surface, lay out a spring roll pastry sheet. Cut it in half to create two rectangles.

Step 8

Place about 1 tablespoon of the filling at one end of a pastry rectangle. Fold the corner over to make a triangle, continue folding in a zigzag manner to keep the triangle shape, sealing the edges with the chickpea batter.
