INGREDIENTS
1/2 cup cooked red lentils (115g)
1/2 cup green peas (80g)
75g firm tofu
60g whole wheat dough
50g low-fat Greek yogurt
1/4 cup fresh mint leaves (4g)
1/4 cup fresh cilantro (4g)
1 tablespoon lemon juice (15g)
1 garlic clove
1 teaspoon grated ginger
1 teaspoon cumin powder
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
In a bowl, gently mash the tofu and mix with the cooked red lentils and green peas. Stir in minced garlic, grated ginger, cumin powder, salt, and pepper.
Roll out the whole wheat dough and cut it into squares. Spoon a portion of the lentil-vegetable mixture onto each square, folding them into a triangle shape to form samosas. Seal the edges well.
Place the samosas on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Lightly brush or spray with a little oil, if desired, for extra browning.
Bake in the oven for 20-25 minutes until the pastry is crisp and golden.
While the samosas are baking, blend together the fresh mint leaves, cilantro, lemon juice, and low-fat Greek yogurt to create a smooth, vibrant mint chutney. Adjust salt and pepper as needed.
Serve the baked samosas warm alongside the refreshing mint chutney.
