Filo/Phyllo/Spring roll sheets on Tava
About:
I have tried with both Wheat flour and plain flour and found that the difference is when sheet cools down post baking; The wheat flour sheets will become brittle compared sooner than plain flour once. You can also try doing 50:50 of plain and wheat flour.
The once made in home are definitely healthier than store bought one. The process of making is similar to crepes.
I used these wraps to make all baked varities like baked Samosas (recipe link), Spring rools (recipe link) and Chocomosas (recipe link).
Yields: 12-15 sheets
Preparation time: 10 minutes
Cooking time: 35-40 minutes
Ingredients:
- Wheat flour/plain flour-1 cup
- Corn starch-2-3 tbsp
- Salt-1/2 tsp
- Vegetable oil-1 tsp (mixed in 2-3 tbsp water)
Procedure:
- Sieve the corn starch, flour, salt into a small bowl and mix together.
- Add in water stirring constantly to make a smooth runny paste.
- In a small bowl combine 2-3 tbsp water with oil and keep aside.
- place a non-stick pan on the flame on the lowest heat as the pan should just be warm not hot at any point.
- Dip the paper towl in water-oil mixture and rub the pan all around.
- Using a pastry brush – spread/brush the runny paste over the warm pan, keep dipping and brushing quickly till you are sure every part within has been coated evenly thin layer.
- Leave for some seconds till you see the pastry film forming a solid film.
- Once the sheet starts leaving the pan, remove carefully and place on a plate and cover with a clean damp kitchen towel. (this prevents from drying out.
- Clean the pan with the paper towl and repeat the procedure till the whole abtter is used up.
- Cut the pastry wraps into perfect squares with a kitchen scissors into round or square sheets.
- These sheets are now ready to use in samosas/spring rolls.
- Store it in the ziplock cover until or when ready to use.
Note:
- I used whole wheat flour so it gave bit crunchy sheets after baking, for soft texture plain flour can be used.
- Batter should be of thin buttermilk consistency.
- 2-3 layers of brushing is required to pan so oil is spread evenly Or it can be spread using spoon by rotating the pan.
- Once the sheets are cooled down; Spread an even amount of oil or butter to pile the sheets one above the other. This will ensure the sheets won’t stick to each other
- If single sheet is too thin and breaking you can make double fold or use 2 sheets
- Size of the sheet can be adjusted as desired
