This is a kid of a pleasant fusion recipe i want to make and have made before using prawns..
- Crabmeat or chopped prawn – 425 g approximately
- wonton wrappers- 1 small packet
- egg 1/2 to seal edges of pastry above
- onion – 50 g/ 1/2 a medium brown / yellow onion
- oil-10 ml
- mustard seeds-1/4 tsp
- curry leaves- 1/2 sprig stripped and shredded
- ricotta or cream cheese- 30-40 g to bind the meat and keep moist
- Basil and coriander – to embellish , chop and make your crab even more sexy
- ,Heat oil, add mustard seeds and crackle them, then add chopped onion and saute with the curry leaves
- Add your crabmeat or chopped prawns and take off the heat..
- Add in ricotta and herbs and mix well.
- The next bit is tricky but with practice easy to do.Take each wonton sheet/ wrapper and brush with beaten egg. Put a small piece of filling in the centre and fold into a trinagular shape and seal the edges. Then turn the two edges of the triangle to the back and stick to each other to form the classical tortellini shape.
- Poach in boiling salted water and serve as is or with a moilee sauce
