Ingredients

• 2 large Potatoes
• 1 cup Frozen green peas
• 2 cups Whole wheat flour
• 1 tablespoon Ghee
• 1 teaspoon Cumin seeds
• 1 teaspoon Coriander powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Red chili powder
• 1 teaspoon Amchur powder (dried mango powder)
• 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
• 1 cup Chickpeas, cooked and unsalted
• 1 cup Low sodium yogurt
• 2 tablespoons Tamarind paste
• 0.5 teaspoon Cumin powder
• 0.5 cup Fresh coriander leaves
• 1 small Green chili
• 0.5 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.75 cup Water

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

Boil the potatoes until tender, about 15 minutes. Let them cool, then peel and mash them.

Step 3

In a pan, heat ghee and add cumin seeds. Once they sizzle, add the green peas and mashed potatoes.

Step 4

Mix in coriander powder, red chili powder, amchur powder, and turmeric. Cook the mixture for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Let it cool.

Step 5

In a mixing bowl, add whole wheat flour, baking powder, and 0.25 teaspoon of ghee. Slowly add water and knead into a firm dough. Cover it with a damp cloth and let it rest for 15 minutes.

Step 6

Divide the dough into small balls. Roll each ball into a thin oval shape and cut in half to make two semi-circles.

Step 7

Form a cone shape using one semi-circle and fill with potato-pea mixture. Seal the edges by applying a little water.

Step 8

Place the samosas on a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown, flipping halfway through.

Step 9

Prepare the tamarind chutney by mixing the tamarind paste with 0.5 cup of water. Adjust as needed to achieve a sauce-like consistency.

Step 10

Assemble the chaat by placing a warm samosa on a plate, breaking it slightly.

Step 11

Top the samosa with a spoonful of chickpeas, a drizzle of low-sodium yogurt, and tamarind chutney.

Step 12

Sprinkle cumin powder and garnish with fresh coriander leaves and chopped green chili.

Step 13

Serve immediately and enjoy your low sodium samosa chaat!
