Soya Cigar Rolls

Cigar rolls are crispy fried tiny rolls stuffed usually with spicy fillings like vegetable, paneer or sometimes with meat kheemas like chicken or mutton. But my version of cigar rolls goes for spiced soya kheema, a vegan and nutritious filling. These cigar rolls are extremely super easy to make and definitely very addictive,needless to say these tiny finger food sounds as much as like spring rolls.These kid friendly rolls with interesting soya filling suits for any occasions.Serve the soya cigar rolls with any dips or chutneys, or simply with tomato ketchup and see how fast these cigar rolls gets vanished.

These crispy beauties are completely vegan and suits prefectly for any ages, if you dont like soya stuffing you can replace very well this minced soya with crumbled paneer or else if you are a meat lover make a spicy stuffing with chicken or mutton kheema.Today am running my first week of blogging marathon with Kid's delight - Potluck Party as theme,obviously am posting these cute crispy cigar rolls for the first day of blogging marathon.
