INGREDIENTS
1 whole wheat pita pocket (60g)
1 medium potato (150g)
1/2 cup green peas (75g)
1/3 cup mashed chickpeas (50g)
3/4 cup nonfat Greek yogurt (170g)
1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro
1 green chili
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon ground coriander
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
Salt and pepper, to taste
1 teaspoon olive oil
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Pierce the potato with a fork and bake it or microwave until tender. Once cooked, allow it to cool slightly, then peel and mash in a bowl.
Lightly mash the chickpeas and mix with the mashed potato. Stir in the green peas. Season the mixture with ground cumin, ground coriander, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper.
Gently stuff the whole wheat pita pocket with the spiced potato, pea, and chickpea filling. For extra crispiness, you can lightly brush the pocket with olive oil.
Place the stuffed pocket on a baking sheet and bake for about 10-12 minutes until the pita becomes crisp and slightly golden.
While the pocket bakes, prepare the fresh cilantro chutney. In a small bowl, combine the nonfat Greek yogurt, chopped cilantro, finely chopped green chili, lemon juice, a pinch of salt, and a drizzle of olive oil. Mix until smooth.
Once baked, slice the crispy pocket in half if desired, and serve warm with a generous side of the fresh cilantro chutney.
