Make the Dipping Sauce

- Blend until it is smooth and creamy. Thicken excessively by pouring in a little water.
- Keep on refrigerating and prepare the egg rolls.
Prepare the Filling
- Mash the avocados to a medium consistency using a fork in a medium bowl. You like it creamy and yet a bit lumpy.
- Add salt, cilantro, lime juice, and sun-dried tomatoes and red onion. Mix until just combined.
Assemble the Egg Rolls
- Place one egg roll wrapper on a flat surface with the corner facing you (with a diamond shape).
- Spoon 2-3 tablespoons of avocado filling into the middle.
- Take the bottom end and fold over the top of the filling, then touch the sides and roll inwards tightly to the top.
- Wet the edge with a spot of water. Use the same wrappers for the rest of the way.
Fry the Egg Rolls
- Bring 2 inches of oil in a deep skillet or pot to 350°F (175 C).
- Bake batches of fried eggs in batches to golden brown and crispy (approximately 23 minutes a side).
- Wipe off and dry away on paper towels.
- To make a lighter one: Brush egg rolls with oil and bake at 400°F to 12-15 minutes, turning halfway through.
Serve and Enjoy
- accompaniment Serve hot egg rolls with chilled tamarind-cashew dipping sauce on the side. Open one and dip heavily and enjoy the textural and flavor difference.
