4 - Whole Wheat Baked Samosas

A while ago, someone on twitter asked me to try and make a healthier version of samosas , and let him know. This has been pending for a long time , and today is when I got around to trying them. And surprisingly, they turned out good. Not the real thing, obviously, but definitely tasty. So for those of you who like samosas, but want a healthier variety, here goes.

Ingredients

2 cups whole wheat flour
1 cup yogurt
salt to taste

4-5 potatoes
1 cup frozen peas
1 onion, chopped
1 inch piece ginger, grated
1 garlic clove , chopped finely
1 tsp cumin
1/4 tsp turmeric powder
1 tsp curry powder
salt to taste
1 tbsp oil
PAM spray

Preparation

Mix the flour,salt and yogurt and knead together to form the dough.
Boil and peel the potatoes.
Heat oil. Add cumin and let it splutter.
Add the ginger, garlic and the onions. Saute until the onions are soft.
To this, add turmeric powder and curry powder. Saute.
Add the frozen peas and cook. Remove this from the flame and add the potatoes to it. Mash it all together well.

Preheat the oven to 220 C. Divide the dough into 12. Roll out each piece into a circle. Divide the circle into 2 semi circles. Take 1 semi circle in your hand, fill it with 1 tblsp of the potato mixture and fold from both ends to form a triangle. Crimp the edges together. Do the same with the other semi circle.

Like this make samosas from the remaining 11 pieces.

Spray a cookie sheet with PAM cooking spray ( or any other cooking spray). Place the samosas on this sheet and cook in the oven for 15 minutes. Remove. Reduce the temperature to 180 C and cook them again for another 5-10 minutes.

Serve and Enjoy! :)
