**  The spring roll sheets should be rolled out very thin and even for crispiness. Alternatinely, you can also buy the frozen sheets/wrappers available in the markets for spring rolls.

** Stir-Fry vegetables refers to frying the vegatbles in oil in such a way that they are tender but crisp and not overcooked - preferebly for 1-2 minutes on high flame.

** Shredded chicken can be obtained by pressure cooking a few chicken pieces in a cooker  with very little water till the first whistle and then removing shreds out of the cooked chicken. The water can be used in any curry later on.

** For vegetable spring rolls, omit only the chicken out of the recipe.
