Ingredients

  • 48 wonton wrappers
  • Filling
  • 1/2 cup red onion, finely chopped
  • 1 lb lean ground lamb or 1 lb beef
  • 1/2 teaspoon ginger, minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon turmeric
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic, minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon cayenne
  • salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 4 sprigs fresh coriander, chopped
  • 3 sprigs mint, chopped
  • 2 cups water

Method

  • Combine all filling ingredients in heavy sauce pan.
  • Bring to a boil and stir to keep smooth.
  • Reduce heat to medium and let mixture simmer uncovered.
  • Correct flavor for spices and salt balance.
  • As water simmers away, stir often to prevent mixture from sticking, especially during final stages.
  • Cook until all liquid evaporates.
  • If ground meat has a lot of fat, drain off at this point.
  • Let mixture cool slightly before stuffing.
  • Fill won ton wrappers with 1 to 2 tsp of filling. Moisten and press the edges together in a triangle shape.
  • Fry the Sanbossas, several at a time, until golden brown on both sides. Place the golden brown Sambossas on paper towel to rid of excess oil. Serve hot or cold with or without chutney.
