INGREDIENTS
200g cooked red lentils
150g boiled potato, diced
50g diced carrot
40g green peas
40g whole wheat flour (for pastry)
1/4 cup low-fat yogurt
4 tbsp fresh mint leaves
2 tbsp cilantro
1 tbsp lemon juice
1 tsp mixed spices (cumin, coriander, turmeric, garam masala)
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat the oven to 400°F and lightly line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, combine 200g of cooked red lentils, 150g of boiled and diced potato, 50g diced carrot, and 40g green peas.
Season the mixture with 1 tsp of mixed spices, salt, and pepper. Stir well to incorporate all flavors.
Using the 40g whole wheat flour, mix with a small amount of water to form a pliable dough. Roll out the dough thinly and cut into squares or triangles to form samosa wrappers.
Spoon an even portion of the lentil-vegetable filling onto each wrapper, then fold into a triangular shape ensuring the edges are sealed tightly.
Place the samosas on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until they become crisp and golden.
For the mint chutney, blend together 4 tablespoons of fresh mint leaves, 2 tablespoons of cilantro, 1 tablespoon of lemon juice, 1/4 cup of low-fat yogurt, and a pinch of salt until smooth.
Serve the warm samosas with the chilled mint chutney on the side.
