Tofu Mango Summer Rolls with 5 minute Makhani dipping sauce or Butter Sauce. You have to try these fresh rolls with Creamy, spicy and lightly sweet Indian sauces. Vegan Gluten-free Recipe Jump to Recipe
What what! You heard that right. Summer rolls with a spiced, creamy Indian dipping sauce! Now you know what to do with all those insane sauces in my book!
I was thinking of what else to do with the amazing things in the book for days when one is not inclined to cook up an Indian feast. And this is one of them ideas! You can use the sauces or the entire dish from the Mains chapter in several ways, by adding them to burrito wraps, using as pizza sauce, serving as a dip with roasted veggies, as dip with Summer rolls!
I used my super quick makhani sauce from One Pot Meals chapter in my book
. yuhmm hummmm! 2 weeks to go! I cannot wait for the shipping to start!
You can use any of the other sauces like the lasooni sauce (soo garlicky so good!), mango curry sauce (you know mango), madras sauce (Ssspicy!), pasanda sauce, shahi sauce (creamy)..or use the Butter Sauce from the blog here. There are about 15 more sauces in the book. you get the picture :). You can also serve these with sweet chili sauce.
The summer rolls have mango, hot green chilies, tofu, cucumber, cilantro and spinach. Use any summer roll filling you like. Noodles work with the dip too! And if you have some sauce leftover, just add in veggies and some non dairy milk and cook until the veggies are tender. Easy makhani veggies!
Please ignore my messy summer rolls. Those sturdy spinach leaves did not help with probably the second time in my life I am making some fresh rolls :). I always end up eating them outside.
I got the dip idea from Courtney when she posted about serving an Indian sauce dip with roasted cauliflower for her bollywood party on her Instagram. Now that must have been an awesome party!

Steps:
Chop up the ingredients or get help from anyone standing around to just eat ;). Though I am a bit finicky about raw stuff. I am known to give a stink eye if I do not see freshly washed hands, cutting board and knife handling raw food. so as well do it myself.
Prep your summer roll station with a large plate filled with warm water. Soak each rice paper roll in the plate for about 10 seconds. Place on another flat wet surface. Pile up. fold and roll and place on the serving plate.
Blend up the makhani sauce, warm to thicken, pour in a bowl and serve.

I love rice rolls and these are no exception! Let’s hope i can roll them instead of tearing the wrappers or making the loosest rolls in the world.
Kathy Davis
These Spring rolls look awesome! We just bought wrappers at our local Asian market! – We will definitely be making these!

These look so beautiful! Such a great idea to use the sauce as a dipping sauce, too. I love repurposing sauces for other things. 🙂
Nina
Hmmmm looks delicious. Is your book available in Germany? My husband said ‘you have to buy that book’. He has not been so enthusiastic about the vegan recipes I prepare until I started making yours 😉
Richa
<3 <3 so glad to hear that! yes it is! It is available on all country specific amazon sites. https://www.amazon.de/Vegan-Richas-Indian-Kitchen-Traditional/dp/1941252095/

Amazing! I can imagine how the fresh rolls go so well with the Indian sauce!
Shaun
looks pretty good..maybe i missed it but where do you have the recipe to make rice paper? )the URL contains a link to amazon.com)
Richa
ripe paper rolls are dry circular wrappers that you can buy from asian stores or online. Those wrappers when soaked in warm water become pliable and can be filled, folded and sealed. I don’t make the wrappers at home. 🙂

Richa

I adore spring rolls! I’ve had them with fresh basil instead of cilantro at a Thai restaurant, my fav now. Have the wrappers on hand, now the courage to try making them! And Indian style, awesome!
Richa
fresh cilantro works beautifully with the indian sauce! they are not too difficult. i mean look at mine. i just rolled them up any which way. they all get eaten 🙂
Courtney @ The Fig Tree
Oh, these look amazing Richa!!! What a great idea using your sauce as a dipping sauce for summer rolls. Tofu and mango are the perfect combination for a sweet/spicy sauce. Delicious! Can’t wait to try these 🙂 Next time we have a bollywood night, you have to come! *hugs*
Cassie
Have to try these with brown rice spring roll wrappers!
