About

If you’re ever stuck for ways to jazz up leftovers, it’s probably a good bet that wrapping them in eggroll wrappers and frying them will make for good eats.

While lentils are a standard filling for samosas, potatoes are equally delicious. If you happen to have some leftover potatoes handy, toss them in with the mix!

Method

Remove seeds from chiles and dice them finely. Add scallions, mint, and cilantro to the peppers. Add lentils to the mix and season with a pinch of salt.
Working with one eggroll wrapper at a time, slice it into thirds so you have long strips of wrapper.
