HOW TO MAKE NIGERIAN EGG ROLLS

Do you want to learn how to make egg rolls?

I Love egg rolls! especially when they are perfectly round. It is one of my preferred snacks. But it can be so awful if it has soaked in a lot of oil.

Have you had that experience of you purchasing an egg roll, and at a bite, you can feel a lot of oil get into your mouth? It can be so annoying, which is why I thought about learning how to make egg rolls at home.

An egg roll is a deep-fried snack, which is basically, an egg covered up in a circle-like shape with dough. It is similar to a scotched egg,  the only difference is that scotched eggs are harder, and rougher looking on the surface compared to eggrolls. 

INGREDIENTS

PREPARING NIGERIAN EGG ROLLS
