Ingredients

  • 250 grams minced chicken
  • 1 tsp oil
  • 1 tbsp finely chopped ginger
  • 1 tbsp finely chopped garlic
  • 1/2 tsp red chili powder adjust to taste
  • 1/4 tsp garam masala
  • 1/4 tsp cumin powder
  • Salt to taste
  • 1 tbsp chopped fresh coriander leaves
  • 8-10 rice paper sheets
  • 2 tbsp oil for pan-frying

Instructions

Prepare the Chicken Filling:

  • Heat 1 teaspoon oil in a pan. Sauté chopped ginger and garlic until fragrant.
  • Add minced chicken and cook thoroughly, breaking it up as it browns.
  • Sprinkle in chili powder, garam masala, cumin powder, and salt. Cook until the chicken is well spiced and dry.
  • Stir in chopped coriander and set aside to cool.

Soften the Rice Paper Sheets:

  • Dip each sheet into warm water for a few seconds until pliable. Lay flat on a damp cloth or board.

Assemble the Rolls:

  • Place a spoonful of the spiced chicken filling on the lower third of the softened rice paper.
  • Add any optional veggies or noodles if using.
  • Fold the bottom over the filling, tuck in the sides, and roll up tightly like a spring roll.

Pan Fry the Rolls:

  • Heat 1–2 tablespoons of oil in a non-stick pan over medium heat.
  • Place the rolls seam side down and cook in batches until golden and crisp on all sides, about 2–3 minutes per side.
  • Remove and drain on kitchen paper.

Serve Hot:

  • These crisp Chicken Rice Paper Rolls pair beautifully with mint-yogurt chutney, spicy mayo, or sweet chili sauce for dipping.
