For the filling, Bhagyashree uses mushrooms, broccoli, carrot, kakdi (long melon), and spring onion. Mushroom and broccoli can be replaced by tofu/paneer and water chestnut or chicken, prawn or shrimp for the non-vegetarians. Saute mushroom in chilli oil on a low flame. Add broccoli, and a little salt and let it cook for some time. Now put the rice paper on a plate and add a little water. Let it soak from both sides for 5-10 minutes.
Transfer the rice paper to a dry plate. Add the sauteed veggies along with thinly sliced kakdi, carrots and spring onions. Wrap the rice paper around the veggies to form a roll. For the dipping sauce, take some chilly oil and add light soya sauce, vinegar, crunchy garlic powder, onion powder, and salt. Serve and enjoy!
