Crispy Fried Wonton Sheets


Serves: 2–3 people

Ingredients

  • ½ cup maida (all-purpose flour)
  • ¼ tbsp salt
  • ¾ tbsp oil
  • Water, as needed
  • Oil, for deep-frying

Method

  1. Sift the maida and salt into a mixing bowl.
  2. Add the oil and rub it into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  3. Gradually add water and knead into a firm, smooth dough.
  4. Cover and let the dough rest for 10–15 minutes.
  5. Divide the dough into small equal portions and roll each into a thin puri, dusting lightly with dry flour if needed.
  6. Cut each puri into 2-inch square pieces.
  7. Heat oil in a deep pan over medium heat.
  8. Carefully add the wonton sheets to the hot oil and fry in batches until golden brown and crisp.
  9. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
  10. Serve immediately.

Tips

  • Keep the dough firm for extra-crispy wonton sheets.
  • Roll the dough as thinly as possible for a light, delicate crunch.
  • Fry on medium heat for even cooking and a golden-brown finish.
  • Avoid overcrowding the pan, as it can lower the oil temperature.
  • Let the fried sheets cool completely before storing in an airtight container.

Serving Suggestions

  • Serve with sweet chutney, chili garlic sauce, Schezwan sauce, or tomato ketchup.
  • Enjoy as a crispy snack on its own.
  • Use as a crunchy topping for soups, salads, and noodle dishes.
  • Serve alongside Indo-Chinese appetizers for added texture and crunch.
