About This Recipe
Kalakand Wontons is a fusion Indian dessert you should try this festive season. It is nothing but Asian wonton wrappers filled with a sweet kalakand filling and deep-fried until crispy.
This dessert comes together in just 10 minutes using simple ingredients.
Make kalakand wontons for Holi, Diwali, or any other celebration at home, and impress your guests with something they have never tried before.
Tip – You can replace kalakand with gajar halwa, lauki ka halwa, or thick rabdi to make a variation.
Ingredients
All-Purpose Flour – Flour is mixed with water to make a slurry. This slurry acts as a glue to seal the wontons.
Kalakand – Make it at home using my easy kalakand recipe or buy from an Indian sweet shop.
Wonton Wrappers – Make these at home using my easy wonton wrappers recipe or buy a frozen packet from the freezer section of the Asian aisle.
You will also need ghee or oil for frying the wontons.
How To Make Kalakand Wontons
Mix 2 tablespoon all-purpose and 3 tablespoon water in a bowl to make a thick slurry. Set aside.
Thaw 12 wonton wrappers and lay one sheet on the work surface. Keep the rest of the sheets covered with a cloth to prevent them from drying.
Apply the flour slurry on the sides of the wonton wrappers.
Take 1 teaspoon of kalakand and make it into a round. Keep the round in the center of the sheet and bring the end together to make a triangle. Secure the ends well.
Apply some more slurry on the opposite sides of the triangle and bring them to overlap each other.
Note – Make sure all the sides are secure well and there is no way for the kalakand to leak out.
Shape all the wontons in the same manner.
Heat oil for frying in a pan over medium-high heat. Drop the wontons in hot oil and reduce the heat to medium. Fry the wontons until crispy and browned. Keep flipping them while frying.
Drain on a plate lined with paper towels.
Garnish with silver foil and rose petals. Serve hot with chocolate sauce.
Serving Suggestions
Serve Kalakand Wontons on its own or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream to make it more indulgent.
You can serve some chocolate sauce or custard sauce on the side.
