Many people relate spring rolls with summer rolls but both are different. Spring rolls made with flour dough while the summer rolls made with rice wrappers. In the same way, baked spring roll (also the fresh) are more healthy as compare to deep fried.
How to Store the Rolls
You can store the rolls right after making them before frying. In a video (03:45 - 04:05), I shared the method to store the spring rolls. Right after making, place in a container. Sprinkle little flour to avoid clutter and place in the freezer for an hour. After an hour, shuffle the rolls (in this way, it will not stick) and freeze for 15 days.
