Healthy samosas in a plate with mint chutney

Healthy Samosa Recipe - Samosa Wrap

Safira
All the flavour of crunchy samosas, with fewer calories! Essentially this is a samosa wrap/vegetarian quesadilla made with a lemon, pea and potato filling. It is my favourite vegetarian samosa filling that I use time and time again, sandwiched between 2 wraps. They can also be made vegan very easily by omitting the butter.

Ingredients
  

  • 6 large Potatoes
  • 2 tsp Salt
  • 2 tbsp Oil
  • 1 large Onion diced
  • 2.5 tsp Ground Coriander
  • 1.5 tsp Ground Cumin
  • 1.5 tsp Red Chilli Powder
  • 1 tsp Ground Turmeric
  • 1 cup Petit Pois Peas
  • Handful Coriander finely chopped
  • 3 Green Chillies finely chopped
  • 1 Lemon juice only
  • 1 tbsp Butter
  • 6 Wraps

Instructions
 

  • Peel and chop potatoes into 1/4 inch cubes. Place in a pot of cold water with 1 tsp Salt. Bring to a boil and then simmer over medium high heat for 15 - 20 minutes until tender. Drain in a colander before roughly mashing and setting aside.
  • Heat the oil in a large pan. Add onion and cook for 5 minutes until translucent. Add the ground coriander and ground cumin and cook for a further 5 minute over a low heat.
  • Stir in the turmeric, remaining salt and red chilli powder. Fry for another minute over low heat. 
  • Now add the mashed potatoes, and mix thoroughly before adding the peas. Cook for 2 minutes before adding coriander and green chillies. Continue to cook for 2 minutes before removing from the heat and stirring in the lemon. Check seasoning and add more salt if needed.
  • Spread 3 - 4 spoonfuls of the filling over one half of a tortilla and fold it in half. Repeat with the remaining filling and tortillas. 
  • Heat oil in a pan over medium heat and add the butter. Cook the samosas one by one until browned (2 to 3 minutes per side). Keep an eye on them and adjust heat as needed.
  • Transfer to a plate and cut in halves or quarters.
  • Serve with chutney and sauces of your choice.

Notes

Browning

Keep an eye on the samosas as they cook. As the pan gets hotter, they begin to brown much faster.You can omit the butter, this is for browning only.
