Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 sheets Whole wheat phyllo pastry sheets
- 200 grams Low-fat cottage cheese
- 100 grams Low-fat mozzarella cheese, grated
- 1 medium Red onion, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons Fresh coriander, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Cumin seeds
- 1 teaspoon Garam masala
- 1 Green chili, finely chopped
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper, freshly ground
- 1 as needed Olive oil spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the low-fat cottage cheese, grated mozzarella cheese, chopped red onion, coriander, cumin seeds, garam masala, green chili, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly until well combined.
Lay one sheet of phyllo pastry on a clean surface and lightly spray it with olive oil. Place another sheet on top, and spray again. Keep the remaining sheets covered with a damp cloth to prevent them from drying out.
Cut the phyllo stack into three equal strips lengthwise.
Place approximately one tablespoon of the cheese mixture at one end of each strip. Fold one corner of the strip over the filling to form a triangle. Continue folding triangles, maintaining the triangular shape until you reach the end of the strip. Repeat this process with all your pastry and filling.
Once all samosas are folded, place them on the prepared baking sheet. Lightly spray the tops with olive oil.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, or until the samosas are golden and crisp. Keep a close eye on them to prevent burning.
Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly on a wire rack before serving.
Enjoy your low-fat cheese samosas as a healthy snack or appetizer!
