They offer a convenient way to experience the taste of butter chicken in a handheld format.

To prepare, these frozen spring rolls can be cooked using an oven, air fryer, or deep fryer. For oven baking, preheat your oven and place the rolls on a baking sheet, cooking until golden brown and heated through. Air frying offers a crispy result with less oil. Deep frying provides a classic crispy texture. Ensure the rolls are cooked thoroughly to an internal temperature that is safe for consumption. They are best served hot, straight from the cooking appliance, for maximum crispness and flavor.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike traditional vegetable spring rolls, these feature a rich, saucy meat filling. The distinct flavor profile comes from the characteristic butter chicken spices, including garam masala and fenugrec, combined with the creamy tomato base, setting them apart from simpler savory fillings.

How to keep the rest
Keep these spring rolls frozen in their original packaging until ready to use. Once thawed, they should not be refrozen. Store them in the freezer compartment of your refrigerator to maintain their quality and prevent spoilage. Proper freezing ensures they remain crisp and flavorful when cooked.
