Ingredients 

  • 50 g baby spinach leaves 
  • 150 g Mozzarella cheese, grated 
  • 1 onion, finely chopped 
  • 20 wonton wrappers 
  • 4 cups oil (for frying) 
  • 1 teaspoon cumin powder 
  • 1 pinch salt 

Instructions 

  1. Prepare the Filling: 
  • In a mixing bowl, combine the baby spinach leaves, grated Mozzarella cheese, finely chopped onion, cumin powder, and a pinch of salt. Blend thoroughly until all ingredients are uniformly combined. 
  1. Assemble the Gozleme: 
  • Lay a single wonton wrapper on a clean, dry surface. 
  • Place a small spoonful of the spinach and cheese mixture in the center of the wrapper. 
  • Dampen the edges of the wrapper lightly with water using your fingertip. 
  • Fold the wrapper over the filling to form a triangle or rectangle, pressing the edges together firmly to seal. Continue this process with the rest of the wonton wrappers and filling mixture. 
  1. Heat the Oil: 
  • Pour the oil into a deep frying pan or pot and heat it over medium-high heat until it reaches about 350°F (175°C). You can test the oil by dropping a small piece of wonton wrapper into the oil; if it sizzles and rises to the surface, the oil is ready. 
  1. Fry the Gozleme: 
  • Carefully add a few filled wonton wrappers to the hot oil, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. 
  • Fry for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the wrappers are golden brown and crispy. 
  • Use a slotted spoon to remove the fried gozleme from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil. Repeat with the remaining gozleme. 
  1. Serve: 
  • Arrange the fried gozleme on a serving platter. 
  • Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce or a squeeze of lemon juice.
