Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 16 sheets Whole wheat phyllo pastry sheets
- 2 medium Potatoes
- 0.5 cup Peas
- 1 teaspoon Cumin seeds
- 1 teaspoon Coriander powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Garam masala
- 0.5 teaspoon Red chili powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- for greasing Oil spray
- 1 cup Low-fat yogurt
- 0.25 cup Tamarind chutney
- 0.25 cup Mint chutney
- 1 teaspoon Roasted cumin powder
- 1 teaspoon Chaat masala
- 0.5 cup Sev
- 0.25 cup Chopped cilantro
- 1 medium Chopped onion
- 1 teaspoon Lemon juice
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Boil the potatoes in a pot of water until tender. Drain, peel, and mash them.
In a non-stick pan, spray a small amount of oil and add the cumin seeds. Once they splutter, add the peas and sauté for 3-4 minutes.
Add the mashed potatoes to the peas, along with coriander powder, garam masala, red chili powder, and salt. Mix well and cook for 5 minutes. Set aside to cool.
Take a sheet of whole wheat phyllo pastry and lightly spray with oil spray. Place about 2 tablespoons of the potato-pea filling on one end of the sheet and fold over into a triangular shape, continuing to fold to form a samosa.
Repeat this for all phyllo sheets and then place the samosas on a baking tray. Lightly spray the tops with oil spray.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes until the samosas are golden and crisp.
While the samosas are baking, whisk the low-fat yogurt in a bowl to make it smooth.
To assemble the chaat, break each baked samosa into bite sized pieces and place them on a serving plate.
Drizzle yogurt, tamarind chutney, and mint chutney over the samosas.
Sprinkle roasted cumin powder, chaat masala, sev, chopped onions, and cilantro on top.
Finish with a squeeze of lemon juice before serving.
