Directions for Stuffing:

Chop all the veggies as per the instructions given in the ingredient section. Keep the white part and green part of chopped spring onion separate. Boil the noodles as per the instructions given on the backside of the noodles pack or by following this recipe.
To julienne the carrot, first cut it either horizontally or vertically into thick slices. Arrange 2-3 slices into a stack and then cut into thins strips using a knife.

Directions for Rolls:

Dissolve 2 tablespoons maida in 2-3 tablespoons water to make a smooth and medium thick paste. Follow the instructions given on the wrapper package to separate the sheets. If you are using frozen wrappers, defrost them first and then cover with a damp towel for 2-3 minutes. So the wrapper will come out easily.
Take one wrapper sheet and place it on a plate or on chopping board. Place 1½-2 tablespoons stuffing at the bottom corner. Keep 1-inch space from sides. Apply little maida paste on the edges using your fingertip or brush.
Cover the stuffing by folding the bottom corner (as shown in the photo). If you are using a large wrapper sheet, first cover the stuffing and then roll the sheet towards top edge till the center (halfway).
Fold it from one side (either left or right) to wrap the end portion of stuffing.
Fold it from another side.
Now, start rolling gently towards the top edge.
Seal it tightly by sticking open ends.
Place it to the plate and make remaining rolls by following the same method. Keep them covered to prevent them from drying.
Heat oil in a pan or kadai over medium flame. When oil is medium hot, place 3-4 prepared rolls at a time (more or less depending on the size of the pan) in oil and deep fry until light golden brown and crispy.
Drain excess oil and transfer them to a plate lined with paper towel. Vegetable spring rolls are ready to serve. Cut them into half and serve with tomato ketchup or schezwan sauce.
