Ingredients

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Peanut Sauce

1. In a blender, combine roasted peanuts, almonds, garlic, sweet soy sauce, granulated sugar, and a pinch of salt. Blend until smooth and creamy.
2. Transfer the mixture to a skillet, adding a drizzle of olive oil. Sauté over medium heat until the oil separates and the sauce is fragrant. Adjust seasoning to taste, then set aside.

Step 2: Make the Batagor Filling

1. In a blender, add minced tuna, garlic, dashi seasoning (or Knorr), and Knorr seasoning. Blend until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
2. Add tapioca flour to the tuna mixture and blend again until everything is incorporated. The resulting batter should be thick but not overly dense.

Step 3: Assemble the Batagor

1. Lay out one wonton wrapper on a clean surface. Spoon 1 tablespoon of the tuna mixture into the center of the wrapper.
2. Press down gently in the middle and fold the sides over to seal, ensuring there are no air pockets. Repeat this process until all the filling is used. If desired, the assembled Batagor can be placed in an airtight container and stored in the freezer for later use.

Step 4: Fry the Batagor

1. Heat a frying pan and pour in enough olive oil to reach halfway up the sides. Heat the oil over medium heat until shimmering.
2. Reduce the heat to low and gently add the Batagor to the hot oil, frying in batches to avoid overcrowding. Cook until they are golden brown and cooked through, about 4-5 minutes. Ensure the heat remains low to cook the insides thoroughly without burning the exterior.

Step 5: Serve

1. Drain the fried Batagor on paper towels to remove excess oil.
2. Serve warm alongside the rich peanut sauce for dipping, allowing everyone to enjoy the delightful combination of textures and flavors.
