Crispy Samosa Wontons bring the best of both worlds—crunchy wonton wrappers and the savory, spiced filling of traditional samosas. These bite-sized treats are filled with a delicious mixture of spiced potatoes, peas, and aromatic seasonings like cumin, coriander, and turmeric. Once folded into wonton wrappers, they’re fried until golden and crispy, making them the perfect appetizer or snack. Serve with tangy tamarind chutney or mint yogurt dip for the ultimate treat!

Add Your Own Twist

While the classic samosa filling is delicious, you can customize these wontons to fit your taste! Try adding cooked chicken or lamb for a heartier filling, or swap in other veggies like carrots or spinach. For a spicy kick, toss in a little extra chili powder or some chopped fresh chilies. You can even bake them instead of frying if you prefer a lighter option.

What You Need to Make Crispy Samosa Wontons

1 package of wonton wrappers
2 large potatoes, peeled and boiled
1/2 cup frozen peas, thawed
1 small onion, finely chopped
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon ground coriander
1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder

How to Make Crispy Samosa Wontons

Heat vegetable oil in a pan over medium heat. Add chopped onions and sauté until softened.
Add the boiled potatoes to the pan and mash them with a fork. Stir in the peas and spices—cumin, coriander, turmeric, chili powder, and salt. Cook for a few more minutes until everything is well combined.
Let the mixture cool down slightly.
Lay out a wonton wrapper on a clean surface and spoon about a tablespoon of the filling into the center.
Wet the edges of the wrapper with a little water, then fold the wrapper into a triangle or triangle-like shape, sealing the edges tightly.
Heat oil in a deep pan over medium-high heat. Fry the wontons in batches until they are golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes per side.
Drain on paper towels to remove excess oil, then serve warm with chutney or dip!

FAQs for Crispy Samosa Wontons

1. Can I bake these wontons instead of frying them?

Yes, you can bake the samosa wontons for a healthier option! Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C), place the wontons on a baking sheet, and lightly brush them with oil. Bake for about 15-20 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they’re golden and crispy.

2. Can I freeze these samosa wontons before frying them?

Absolutely! To freeze them, assemble the wontons as directed, but instead of frying, arrange them on a baking sheet in a single layer and freeze until firm. Once frozen, transfer them to a freezer bag or container. When you’re ready to eat them, fry them directly from frozen, adding a couple of extra minutes to the cooking time.

3. What dipping sauces go well with samosa wontons?

Tamarind chutney and mint yogurt dip are traditional choices, but you can also serve these wontons with sweet chili sauce, cilantro-lime dip, or even a simple tangy yogurt dip. The sweet and sour flavors complement the savory, spiced wontons perfectly.

4. Can I make these wontons with a different filling?

Of course! You can customize the filling to your taste. Try adding cooked chicken, lamb, or even paneer for a twist. You could also use spinach, carrots, or mushrooms for a vegetarian version. The possibilities are endless!

5. How do I prevent the wontons from getting soggy after frying?

To keep the wontons crispy, make sure to drain them on paper towels immediately after frying to remove excess oil. If you’re not serving them right away, keep them in a warm oven (around 200°F or 90°C) to maintain their crunchiness.
