Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Whole wheat flour
- 1 cup Low-fat yogurt
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 medium, grated Carrot
- 1 medium, boiled and mashed Potato
- 0.5 cup Green peas
- 1 medium, finely chopped Onion
- 1 teaspoon Ginger-garlic paste
- 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Red chili powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Garam masala powder
- 2 tablespoons, finely chopped Coriander leaves
- 1 as needed Oil spray (low-fat alternative)
- 0.25 cup Water
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine whole wheat flour, salt, and baking powder. Gradually add low-fat yogurt and knead it into a soft dough. Add water as needed to bring the dough together. Cover it with a damp cloth and let it rest for 15 minutes.
To prepare the filling, heat a non-stick pan over medium heat. Once hot, add the chopped onions and sauté until translucent using a spray of oil to keep it low in fat.
Add ginger-garlic paste, turmeric powder, red chili powder, and garam masala powder. Cook for 1-2 minutes until the spices are aromatic.
Add mashed potato, grated carrot, and green peas. Mix thoroughly and cook for 3-4 minutes. Stir in the chopped coriander leaves and adjust the seasoning as needed. Let the filling cool completely.
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Divide the dough into 8 equal portions. Roll out each portion into a thin oval or rectangle, about 6 inches in length.
Place 2 tablespoons of the veggie filling in the center of each rolled-out dough. Fold over the edges to enclose the filling, pinching the ends to seal. Press lightly to flatten slightly.
Place the prepared puffs on the baking sheet. Lightly spray the tops of the puffs with oil spray for a golden finish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the puffs are golden brown and cooked through.
Allow them to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your low-fat veg puffs warm as a snack or appetizer!
