Baby Corn Wontons

I love visiting the Asian/Chinese store. I would always cross a variety of Wonton wrappers in the refrigerated section and always think to myself that the possibility to use these would be endless. They come bundled in 100s and sell for a dollar fifty. The last time I visted, I made myself buy a pack even without knowing what I was gonna do with it.
Last evening we were invited to my friend Latika's place for dinner. I typically always like to take some course of food to anyone's place I visit - it just gives me pleasure.
So for this evening, I decided to get experimental with my wrappers. A basic search on the net will show you the method to make them step by step.
I decided to stuff them with baby corn - cause, you guessed it, I had a packet of baby corn in my fridge that was just ready to be used.
I remember reading a Tarla Dalal recipe where she marinated the baby corns and then deep friend them with a rice flour coating. Here, I've tried to take that recipe to the next level by stuffing the wontons with the marinated baby corns.
I served this with a really spicy Chilli dip.
All in all, it made for some delicious appetizers, with an exotic look to boot.

Ingredients:

15-20 baby corns - slit in half lengthwise and breadth wise
40 wonton sheets

2 tbsps flour

1 tbsp pepper

Oil for deep frying

For the marinade:
1/2 cup butter milk
2 tsps jeera powder
1 tsp rock salt
2 tsps pepper

Method:
In a bowl, mix the marinade ingredients, add the slit baby corns and allow the baby corns to marinade for atleast 3 hours.

After that, remove the baby corns from the marinade, add 1 tbsp pepper and keep in a bowl.

Make a paste of flour and water : we will use this as a stickign agent to assemble our wontons.

Now take two wonton wrappers, one on top of another and brush the sides with the paste.

Keep the diagonal as the top and arrange 4-5 pieces of the baby corn from the diagonal to one corner edge.

Fold over the wrapper diagonally to end up with a Triangle-shaped structure.
Now trim the edges to design into a semi circle (I used a bowl)

Finally, take a small fork and press the semi circle edges with this to create lines.

Take a flat bottomed pan with 1 inch oil. Heat the oil till you see some smoke rise.

Prep 4-5 wontons and slide these into the pan, The wontons will turn brown very fast and expand a little as well. Turn over and allow the other side to brown as well.

Baby Corn Wontons are ready to be served.

Serve Hot or reheat in the oven before serving.
