Chinese Wontons with Spinach and Tofu stuffing

Method

1. To make spinach stuffing, heat oil in a non-stick pan, add garlic and onion and saute garlic for 2-3 minutes on high heat.
2. Add spinach and salt and saute for 2-3 minutes. Transfer onto a plate and set aside to cool.
3. To make wonton wrappers, take refined flour in a big bowl and make a well in the centre. Add salt, eggs and mix with a fork. Add ¼ cup water and knead for 10 minutes or till you get a smooth dough.
4. Divide the dough into ten equal portions. Dust some flour on the worktop, and keep each portion on it and roll out to thin discs. Cut into approximately 3½ cm by 3½ cm squares and keep them covered with moist cloth till you cook them.
5. Add tofu and carrot to the spinach mixture and mix well.
6. Place 1 tsp of spinach-tofu stuffing in the middle of each square, dampen the edges with finger. Fold into a triangular shape and then stick the edges to form a dumpling.
7. Heat sufficient water in an idli steamer. Place the wontons on a greased perforated plate, place it in the steamer, cover and steam for 8-10 minutes on high heat or till it becomes almost transparent.
8. Serve hot with any Chinese spicy sauce.
