INGREDIENTS

Oil      for greasing pan

Cooked green peas, lightly mashed  1 cup

Crumbled paneer       1 cup

Small green chillies, minced  2

Salt    1/4 tsp or to taste

Red chilli powder or red chilli flakes  1/4 tsps 

Minced garlic  1/2 tsps

Wonton wrappers      24

Lightly beaten egg white      1

METHOD

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Lightly grease a baking sheet with oil.
• Take a bowl; combine the peas, paneer, green chillies, salt, chilli powder and garlic. Mix well.
• Put 1 teaspoon of the mixture in the centre of a wonton wrapper. Lightly brush the edges of the wrapper with the egg white. Fold the wrapper over to form a triangle, or if you are using round wrappers, fold to form a half moon. Press the edges with a fork, gently to secure the seam so the filling does not fall out.
• Place the puffs in a single layer on the baking sheet. Brush them lightly with oil.
• Cook for 7 to 8 minutes or until they are crisp and the skin changes to a golden brown colour. Turn once halfway through baking.
• Serve immediately with your choice of chutney.

Note: Chile Pea Puffs can also be deep fried.
