This recipe has been floating around in my brain for quite some time. I'm thinking of making some for Samhain, if I have the time. If anyone tries this recipe, please let me know. I want to put it in the book. Thanks!
Pumpkin Samosas
1 package won ton wrappers
Water to moisten
Oil to fry
For the filling:
1 pound roasted pumpkin, lightly mashed (keep it slightly chunky)
1 small onion, diced
4 garlic cloves, minced
½ chili, seeded and minced
½ teaspoon grated ginger
½ teaspoon ground cumin
½ teaspoon ground coriander
½ teaspoon garam masala
1/8 teaspoon turmeric
Salt to taste
1-2 teaspoons sugar, optional
2-3 tablespoons oil
2 tablespoons fresh coriander, chopped
In a skillet, heat the oil on medium to medium-high heat.
Fry the onions until they begin to soften.
Add the garlic, ginger and chili and fry for an addition 3 minutes.
Add the dried spices and stir to coat everything.
Add the pumpkin and stir to evenly combine.
Stir in the sugar if using.
Salt to taste.
Add the fresh coriander at the end.
To assemble, put about 1 teaspoon of filling into the middle of the won ton wrapper. Use water to moisten the edges of the wrapper and fold into a triangle, pressing firmly to seal.
Heat the oil to 350 degrees and fry about 4 at a time until golden brown. Drain on paper towels. This recipe will make several dozen.
Serve with mango or pear chutney.
