Preparation

Step 1

1. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees.

2. Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add cauliflower florets and cook until fork tender.

3. Drain the cauliflower and reserve 1 cup of the cooking liquid. Add the cauliflower to a blender and add about 2 tbsp of cooking liquid. Begin to blend adding more cooking water if needed, being careful to keep the mixture on the drier side. Add salt and pepper to taste.

4. Fold in the carrots, peas, curry powder, and garam masala to create the mixture for your samosas.

5. Lay out your wonton wrappers on a large cooking sheet sprayed with coking spray. Carefully add 1/2-3/4 tbsp filling into the center of each wonton. Then close each wonton wrapper by gently wetting the corner with your finger and pushing closed. You can use a fork to make indentations along the edge if you want them prettier.

6. Bake for 10 minutes or until the bottoms become golden brown. Flip over and cook an additional 3-5 minutes to brown the other side. Serve with the Mint Cilantro sauce.

Add everything to a food processor and pulse until combined. You can add a little more water if needed or yogurt if you want a creamier consistency.
