Ingredients

• 8 sheets Phyllo pastry sheets
• 2 medium Potatoes
• 1 medium Carrot
• 0.5 cup Frozen green peas
• 1 medium Onion
• 1 teaspoon Cumin seeds
• 1 teaspoon Ginger
• 1 teaspoon Garlic
• 1 teaspoon Ground coriander
• 0.5 teaspoon Garam masala
• 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Oil spray or olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Water

Directions

Step 1

Peel and dice the potatoes and carrot into small cubes.

Step 2

Boil the diced potatoes and carrot in water for 5-7 minutes until fork-tender. Drain and set aside.

Step 3

Finely chop the onion, ginger, and garlic.

Step 4

In a non-stick skillet, heat 1 teaspoon of oil or use an oil spray. Add the cumin seeds and toast them for 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 5

Add the chopped onion, ginger, and garlic to the skillet. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until golden and soft.

Step 6

Stir in the ground coriander, garam masala, turmeric powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to coat the onions in the spices.

Step 7

Add the cooked potatoes, carrot, and frozen peas to the skillet. Stir everything together thoroughly and cook for 2 more minutes. Set the mixture aside to cool.

Step 8

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

Step 9

Cut each phyllo pastry sheet into 3 long strips. Work with one strip at a time and cover the rest with a damp cloth to keep them from drying out.

Step 10

Place a small spoonful of the vegetable filling at one end of a phyllo strip. Fold the corner of the strip over the filling to form a triangle. Continue folding in a triangular pattern until the strip is fully used, sealing the edge with a dab of water.

Step 11

Place the samosas on the prepared baking sheet and lightly spray with oil or brush with a little olive oil.

Step 12

Bake the samosas in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until golden and crispy, flipping them halfway through for even browning.

Step 13

Allow the samosas to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy with mint chutney or a yogurt dip for a perfect low-fat snack!
