Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 sheets Whole wheat phyllo pastry sheets
- 1 bottle Olive oil cooking spray
- 2 medium Russet potatoes
- 1 cup Green peas
- 1 teaspoon Cumin seeds
- 1 teaspoon Coriander powder
- 1 teaspoon Garam masala
- 0.5 teaspoon Red chili powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 1 cup Chickpeas (cooked or canned)
- 1 cup Low-fat yogurt
- 3 tablespoons Tamarind chutney
- 0.5 cup Fresh coriander leaves
- 1 cup Cherry tomatoes
- 1 small Red onion
- 1 teaspoon Chaat masala
- 1 optional Fresh green chili
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Peel and boil the potatoes until tender, then dice them into small cubes.
In a skillet over medium heat, dry roast the cumin seeds for 1 minute until aromatic.
Add the diced potatoes, green peas, coriander powder, garam masala, red chili powder, salt, and lemon juice to the skillet. Cook for 5 minutes and set aside to cool.
Cut each whole wheat phyllo pastry sheet into three rectangles. Lightly spray with olive oil on both sides.
Place a tablespoon of the potato-pea mixture at one corner of the pastry rectangle, fold it into a triangle, and continue folding to form a samosa. Repeat for all sheets.
Place the samosas on a baking tray lined with parchment paper and bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown.
While the samosas bake, thinly slice the red onion and cherry tomatoes. Finely chop the green chili and fresh coriander leaves.
In a serving plate, arrange three to four baked samosas per person, and gently crush with a spoon.
Top with chickpeas, a drizzle of low-fat yogurt, and tamarind chutney.
Scatter sliced onions, cherry tomatoes, chopped coriander, and green chili over the chaat.
Sprinkle chaat masala on top and serve immediately.
