Ingredients: 6 wonton wrappers (square); 6 oz ground lamb; 1 shallot, minced; 1 teaspoon ground cumin; ½ teaspoon ground coriander; ½ teaspoon fish sauce; Pinch of salt; 2 tablespoons neutral oil (for filling prep); Neutral oil for frying (approximately 1 quart); 3 tablespoons tamarind paste; 2 tablespoons palm sugar or coconut sugar; 1 tablespoon water; 1 Thai chili, sliced thin (optional); 2 tablespoons crispy fried shallots; 3 tablespoons pomegranate arils; Fresh cilantro leaves for garnish

Paper-thin wonton wrappers fried until shattering-crisp, filled with seasoned minced lamb spiced with cumin and coriander, topped with a glossy tamarind-palm sugar glaze and scattered with bright pomegranate arils and crispy fried shallots. It's textural theatre—crunchy, savory, with hits of sour and sweet.
