Recipe Summary
Ingredients
Directions
Make Ahead
The fried rolls can be kept at room temperature for up to 2 hours. Reheat in the oven before serving.
Notes
Amchoor, dried mango powder, adds a distinctive tart flavor to foods. It's available at Indian markets and from kalustyans.com.
Suggested Pairing
Dates, the basis for the sweet and spicy dipping sauce, have dark, jammy flavors that work better with a red wine than a white. Zinfandels often have a juicy richness that pairs well here.
