Try the healthier version of samosas. This samosa wonton recipe is the guilt-free version of samosas. The chutney is Caribbean Inspired.
Is there anyone who doesn’t love samosas?
As far as I know, there isn’t anyone on this earth who doesn’t love a good samosa recipe.
Samosas are very easy to make, if you are using wonton wrappers.
Ever since I remember, my mother has made the perfect samosas. You could take a compass to it and it would be an equilateral triangle with 45 degree angles!
Unfortunately, I did not inherit her trait for symmetry and perfection.
Over the years, I have experimented with so many variations of samosas. I will not bore you with the disaster that was the Mexican Samosa.
Then there was the Greek version of samosas where the Feta cheese was fried which ended in a huge mess.
This recipe has some Chinese influence and some Caribbean influence. Also, I decided to make Sweet potatoes to be the focus of the recipe, although, I didn’t stay away from regular potatoes either.
Sweet potatoes with peas and carrots make up this recipe more interesting and healthy. It takes 45 minutes to make these samosa wontons, so, you won’t be spending your whole day slaving over the stove.
To save some time, bake the sweet potato in a mini oven for about 15 minutes.
In a medium wok, add the oil and add black mustard seeds. When the mustard seeds start popping, add the cumin seeds.
Turmeric powder is vital in all Indian cuisine and it is also very therapeutic in nature. It has a long list of health benefits as outlined in this WebMD’s article.
I served this with Caribbean Style Chutney which was a great combination. The dish has a very West Indian flare and the samosa wontons fit right in.
