INGREDIENTS
1 cup Cooked Red Lentils (198g)
1/3 cup Whole Wheat Flour (42g)
1 medium Carrot (50g)
1/4 cup Green Peas (35g)
1 small Potato (50g)
1/4 medium Onion (30g)
1 clove Garlic (3g)
1 tsp Ginger (2g)
1 tsp Olive Oil (5g)
1/2 cup Low-Fat Greek Yogurt (120g)
1 handful Fresh Mint Leaves (5g)
1 handful Fresh Cilantro (5g)
1 tsp Lemon Juice (5g)
Spices (Cumin, Coriander, Salt, Pepper) to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Sauté the finely chopped onion, garlic, and grated ginger until the onion becomes translucent.
Add the diced carrot, potato, and green peas to the pan. Sprinkle in a pinch each of cumin, coriander, salt, and pepper. Cook for 3-4 minutes until the vegetables begin to soften.
Stir in the cooked red lentils and mix well with the vegetables. Remove from heat and allow the filling to cool slightly.
In a separate bowl, combine the whole wheat flour with a little water (if needed) and a pinch of salt to form a pliable dough. Roll the dough out thinly on a lightly floured surface.
Cut the dough into small squares. Spoon a portion of the lentil-vegetable filling onto each square and fold them into triangular samosa shapes, ensuring to seal the edges well.
Place the samosas on the prepared baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until golden and crisp.
While the samosas are baking, blend the Greek yogurt, fresh mint, fresh cilantro, and lemon juice in a small bowl to create the mint-cilantro sauce.
Once baked, serve the samosas warm with a side of the mint-cilantro yogurt sauce for dipping.
