Ingredients
  • 2 packets wanton wrappers
For filling
  • 3 cups ground meat (mutton/pork/chicken/beef)
  • 3 cups chopped onions
  • 2 tbsp grated ginger
  • ¼ cup celery chopped
  • ¼ cup chopped coriander leaves
  • ½ cup spring onions chopped
  • 2 Thai chilies chopped (optional)
  • ¼ cup olive oil
  • ¼ cup water
  • 1 tsp salt
For chutney
  • 2 large tomato grated
  • 5 thai red chilies
  • 1 tbsp spring onions
  • ¼ cup green coriander
  • water as needed
  • 1 tsp lemon juice
  • salt
Instructions
  1. Mix all ingredients for filling and knead it like a dough for 2 minutes, adding water to make it more homogeneous
  2. Place a small amount of filling in the wrapper and fold it over and form a dumpling by sealing the ends.
  3. Steam the dumplings for 18 minutes.
For chutney
  1. Grate tomatoes
  2. Grind the rest of the ingredients except lemon juice in a blender with little water, taking care not to puree them. Alternatively, you can grind the rest of the ingredients of the chutney in a mortar-pestle.
  3. Using a fork, mix in the tomatoes until they are well mixed together. Add lemon juice.
Note: Coat the slotted plates with a little oil or PAM. That prevents the dumplings from getting stuck. Also, when cooked well, the dumplings should not stick.
