My fave street food! - by Fast Ed
  • 29 Mar 2019
Prep: 20 Minutes - Cook: 30 Minutes - Serves 8
Proudly supported by

The Rapid Creek Markets in Darwin are exciting Asian markets. Try my favourite Asian street food – ‘short eats’ from Sri Lanka.

Ingredients

450g plain flour

2 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil

2 tsp fine salt

1¼ cups water

4 medium potatoes, peeled, halved

6 cups Asian greens, chopped

2 tsp black mustard seeds

1 tsp cardamom seeds

2 carrots, peeled and coarsely grated

½ bunch coriander leaves, chopped

½ bunch Vietnamese mint, chopped

4 green shallots, finely sliced

12 curry leaves, chopped

8 cloves garlic, minced

1 Tbsp fresh turmeric, grated

1 Tbsp ginger, grated

Sea-salt flakes and freshly ground black pepper, to season

2 Tbsp sesame oil

Cooking oil spray

Raita and lime wedges, to serve

Method

  1. Combine flour, olive oil and salt in a bowl. Add water and knead firmly for 5 minutes, until a smooth dough forms. Wrap in plastic wrap, then set aside for 1 hour.

  2. Meanwhile, steam potatoes until tender. Crush with a fork and set aside to cool. Steam Asian greens until just wilted, then set aside to cool.

  3. Toast mustard and cardamom seeds in a pan over low heat until aromatic. Mix with potatoes, greens, carrot, herbs, shallots, curry leaves, garlic, turmeric and ginger. Season with salt and pepper.    

  4. Divide dough into 8 pieces and roll each out to a 15cm-wide, 50cm-long and 2mm-thick strip. Brush with a little sesame oil. Place a large spoon of potato mixture at the near edge. Fold right edge over to make a triangle. Continue folding, maintaining shape, until you reach the end. Repeat with remaining dough and filling.

  5. Spray a chargrill pan with oil and set over medium heat. Cook parcels for 6 minutes on each side, until crisp, then serve with raita and lime wedges.
