NIGERIA EGG ROLL

Egg roll is a Nigeria street snack usually sold in traffic by hawkers or on the road side accompanied with other snacks such as burns and puff puff.

As the name implies,egg roll is made with boiled egg and dough.The dough is wrapped round the egg and deep fried.

I love egg roll but it's been a long time i had one,the last time i bought it was all dough with half egg😒

Yes you heard me,half egg.

Who does that?I was so angry and stopped buying for a while.

So last week i had a serious craving for it but wanted to make it myself,i have never given it a try before,this was my first attempt and it came out great😊

It was so delicious,my sister and mum wanted more.

If you follow these simple steps,you will get it right.
