Ingredients

• 12 sheets Whole wheat phyllo pastry sheets
• 200 grams Low-fat cottage cheese
• 100 grams Low-fat mozzarella cheese, grated
• 1 medium Red onion, finely chopped
• 2 tablespoons Fresh coriander, chopped
• 1 teaspoon Cumin seeds
• 1 teaspoon Garam masala
• 1 Green chili, finely chopped
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper, freshly ground
• 1 as needed Olive oil spray

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the low-fat cottage cheese, grated mozzarella cheese, chopped red onion, coriander, cumin seeds, garam masala, green chili, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly until well combined.

Step 3

Lay one sheet of phyllo pastry on a clean surface and lightly spray it with olive oil. Place another sheet on top, and spray again. Keep the remaining sheets covered with a damp cloth to prevent them from drying out.

Step 4

Cut the phyllo stack into three equal strips lengthwise.

Step 5

Place approximately one tablespoon of the cheese mixture at one end of each strip. Fold one corner of the strip over the filling to form a triangle. Continue folding triangles, maintaining the triangular shape until you reach the end of the strip. Repeat this process with all your pastry and filling.

Step 6

Once all samosas are folded, place them on the prepared baking sheet. Lightly spray the tops with olive oil.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, or until the samosas are golden and crisp. Keep a close eye on them to prevent burning.

Step 8

Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly on a wire rack before serving.

Step 9

Enjoy your low-fat cheese samosas as a healthy snack or appetizer!
