Indo-Chinese Spring Rolls

Street food in India has a lot of influences from Chinese cuisine, and our resourceful street vendors have over the years developed a new Indo-Chinese cuisine which is extremely popular with the masses. It has its roots in Chinese food, but has been suitably adapted to suit Indian palette. The Spring Roll with a lo-mein kind of filling is one of the most popular take away food. As kids, we've all burnt our tongues while biting into one of these. I added the prawns, and modified the spice levels to suit my family's taste buds.
