INGREDIENTS
0.75 cup cooked red lentils (150g)
100g firm tofu
1 cup cauliflower florets (107g)
0.5 cup whole wheat flour (60g)
1 garlic clove, minced
1 teaspoon grated ginger
0.5 teaspoon ground cumin
0.25 teaspoon ground turmeric
1 teaspoon olive oil
Salt to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
In a bowl, gently mash the tofu with a fork until crumbled. Add the cooked red lentils and mix together.
Lightly steam or microwave the cauliflower florets until just tender, then roughly chop them. Stir into the lentil-tofu mixture.
Add minced garlic, grated ginger, ground cumin, ground turmeric, salt, and olive oil to the mixture. Mix well until all the spices are evenly incorporated.
In a separate bowl, combine the whole wheat flour with a pinch of salt and a few tablespoons of warm water. Mix until a soft dough forms; adjust water as needed.
Divide the dough into small balls and roll each into a thin circle. Spoon a generous portion of the lentil-cauliflower filling onto one half of each circle.
Fold over the dough to create a pocket and press the edges firmly with a fork to seal, creating samosa pockets.
Place the pockets on the prepared baking tray. Brush a little extra olive oil on top if desired, to aid browning.
Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the pockets turn golden and crisp.
Serve warm, enjoying as a nutritious breakfast, lunch, or dinner.
