About Kalakand Wontons
Kalakand wonton is an Indian fusion dessert you should try this festive season.
It is 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 celebration at home, and impress your guests with something they haven’t tried before.
Tip: You can replace kalakand with gajar halwa, lauki halwa, or thick rabdi to add variety.
Ingredients
- All-Purpose Flour (Maida) – Mix with water to make a slurry. This slurry acts as a glue to seal the wontons.
- Kalakand – Make it at home with my easy kalakand recipe, or buy it from an Indian sweet shop.
- Wonton Wrappers – Make these using my homemade 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
Step 1: Mix 2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour and 3 tablespoons of water in a bowl to make a thick slurry. Set aside.
Step 2: Thaw 12 wonton wrappers and lay one sheet on the work surface. Keep the remaining sheets covered with a cloth to prevent them from drying. Apply the flour slurry to the sides of the wonton wrappers.
Step 3: Take 1 teaspoon of kalakand and make it into a round. Keep the round in the center of the sheet, then bring the ends together to form a triangle.
Step 4: Secure the ends well.
Step 5: Apply more slurry to the opposite sides of the triangle and overlap them.
Make sure all sides are securely fastened and that the kalakand cannot leak.
Step 6: Shape all the wontons in the same manner.
Step 7: Heat oil in a pan over medium-high heat for frying. Drop the wontons in hot oil and reduce the heat to medium. Fry the wontons until golden brown and crispy. Flip them a few times while frying.
Step 8: Drain on a plate lined with paper towels. Garnish with silver foil and rose petals. Serve hot.
Serving Suggestions
Serve kalakand wontons on their own or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an indulgent treat.
