Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

Peel and boil the potatoes until tender, then dice them into small cubes.

Step 3

In a skillet over medium heat, dry roast the cumin seeds for 1 minute until aromatic.

Step 4

Add the diced potatoes, green peas, coriander powder, garam masala, red chili powder, salt, and lemon juice to the skillet. Cook for 5 minutes and set aside to cool.

Step 5

Cut each whole wheat phyllo pastry sheet into three rectangles. Lightly spray with olive oil on both sides.

Step 6

Place a tablespoon of the potato-pea mixture at one corner of the pastry rectangle, fold it into a triangle, and continue folding to form a samosa. Repeat for all sheets.

Step 7

Place the samosas on a baking tray lined with parchment paper and bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown.

Step 8

While the samosas bake, thinly slice the red onion and cherry tomatoes. Finely chop the green chili and fresh coriander leaves.

Step 9

In a serving plate, arrange three to four baked samosas per person, and gently crush with a spoon.

Step 10

Top with chickpeas, a drizzle of low-fat yogurt, and tamarind chutney.

Step 11

Scatter sliced onions, cherry tomatoes, chopped coriander, and green chili over the chaat.

Step 12
