Ingredients

• 2 cups Whole wheat flour
• 1 cup Low-fat yogurt
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 1 medium, grated Carrot
• 1 medium, boiled and mashed Potato
• 0.5 cup Green peas
• 1 medium, finely chopped Onion
• 1 teaspoon Ginger-garlic paste
• 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Red chili powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Garam masala powder
• 2 tablespoons, finely chopped Coriander leaves
• 1 as needed Oil spray (low-fat alternative)
• 0.25 cup Water

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine whole wheat flour, salt, and baking powder. Gradually add low-fat yogurt and knead it into a soft dough. Add water as needed to bring the dough together. Cover it with a damp cloth and let it rest for 15 minutes.

Step 2

To prepare the filling, heat a non-stick pan over medium heat. Once hot, add the chopped onions and sauté until translucent using a spray of oil to keep it low in fat.

Step 3

Add ginger-garlic paste, turmeric powder, red chili powder, and garam masala powder. Cook for 1-2 minutes until the spices are aromatic.

Step 4

Add mashed potato, grated carrot, and green peas. Mix thoroughly and cook for 3-4 minutes. Stir in the chopped coriander leaves and adjust the seasoning as needed. Let the filling cool completely.

Step 5

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 6

Divide the dough into 8 equal portions. Roll out each portion into a thin oval or rectangle, about 6 inches in length.

Step 7

Place 2 tablespoons of the veggie filling in the center of each rolled-out dough. Fold over the edges to enclose the filling, pinching the ends to seal. Press lightly to flatten slightly.

Step 8

Place the prepared puffs on the baking sheet. Lightly spray the tops of the puffs with oil spray for a golden finish.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the puffs are golden brown and cooked through.

Step 10

Allow them to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your low-fat veg puffs warm as a snack or appetizer!
