Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 24 Wonton wrappers
- 200 grams White fish fillets (such as cod or haddock)
- 100 grams Low-fat yogurt
- 1 medium Onion
- 50 grams Peas
- 1 small Carrot
- 2 Garlic cloves
- 1 inch piece Ginger
- 1 teaspoon Cumin powder
- 1 teaspoon Coriander powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Chili powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- (as needed) Cooking spray
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro
- 1 Lemon
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 200°C (392°F) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
Finely chop the onion and set aside. Peel and grate the carrot. Mince the garlic and ginger.
In a large non-stick pan, add a small amount of water to cook the onion over medium heat until softened, about 5 minutes.
Add minced garlic and ginger to the pan and sauté for an additional 2 minutes until fragrant.
Chop the fish fillets into small cubes and add them to the pan, cooking until they're opaque and just done, about 5-7 minutes.
Stir in the grated carrot, peas, cumin powder, coriander powder, turmeric powder, and chili powder. Cook for 3 more minutes.
Season with salt and add the low-fat yogurt, mixing well to combine and remove from heat. Let it cool for a few minutes.
Add freshly chopped cilantro to the mixture and squeeze the juice of half a lemon over it, mixing thoroughly.
Lay out a wonton wrapper on a clean surface. Place 1 tablespoon of the fish mixture in the center of the wrapper.
Lightly moisten the edges of the wrapper with water, then fold it over diagonally to form a triangle, pressing the edges to seal properly.
Place the prepared samosas on the baking tray and lightly coat the tops with cooking spray.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown and crisp, flipping halfway through for even baking.
Once baked, remove from the oven and serve warm with lemon wedges.
