Potato Peas Wonton Wraps

All You Need:
  • 4 medium sized Potatoes
  • 1/2 cup Green Peas (frozen/fresh)
  • 4 tbsp finely chopped onion
  • 1/2 tsp Ginger garlic paste
  • 1 tsp Red Chili powder
  • 1/2 tsp Cumin Powder
  • 1 tsp Chat masala
  • 1/2 tsp Dry mango powder / Amchur
  • 1/4 tsp Black salt (Optional)
  • 1/4 tsp Garam masala
  • 1/2 tsp Turmeric powder
  • 2 tsp Oil
  • 1/2 tsp Cumin seeds / Jeera
  • 16 Large Wonton Wrapper
  • 1 Egg White (Optional)
  • 3 tsp All purpose flour (Optional)
  • Water
  • Salt to taste
  • Butter/Oil for brushing
The Recipe:
  • Frozen wonton wraps should be thawed before using. So pull them out of your freezer an hour before you start doing the prep work.
  • In a sauce pan, boil water. When it starts rolling add potato, salt and let it cook until it is fork tender. You can also use pressure cooker to do the same.
  • Allow it to cool. Peel the skin and mash it using your hand or potato masher.
  • In a wide skillet, add oil. When it is hot add cumin seeds and let it splutter.
  • On a medium flame, add finely chopped onions, ginger garlic paste and saute for a minute or until the raw smell of ginger garlic fades.
  • Add frozen green peas. Mash it as you saute for another minute or two.
  • Add mashed potatoes.
  • Then add turmeric powder, cumin powder, red chili powder, chat masala, dry mango powder, black salt, garam masala and mix it well to blend. Cook for few more minutes.
  • Allow the masala to cool.
  • You can use egg whites for binding the wraps. Else mix 2 tsp of all purpose flour in few tsp of water to form a glue like paste.
  • Preheat oven at 350 F. Line a cookie tray/baking sheet with wax/parchment paper. Brush it with oil or butter.
  • Take a sheet of wonton wrap. Place 1 tbsp of potato peas masala in the center.
  • Brush the sides with egg white or the flour/water mix. Pull the diagonal edges and seal. Likewise pull the other two edge and seal. Repeat this step for other wonton wraps.
  • When you are done, slide the tray into the oven and bake for 15-20 minutes. You will see the edges turning into golden brown and crispy.
  • Remove it from the oven. If you wish brush it lightly with butter or oil. Allow it to cool and serve it with green chutney or ketchup.
Notes:
  • If you are using dried green peas, then you must soak in overnight and pressure cook.
  • If you are using fresh green peas, wash and boil them in water until they are tender.
