Ingredients

6 mini wholemeal tortilla wraps (approx. 30g each), halved
Spray oil
2tsp cumin seeds
2 onions, finely chopped
2 cloves of garlic, crushed
1 tbsp fresh ginger, grated
1 large sweet potato (approx. 300g), cut into small cubes
750g frozen mixed vegetables
Pinch each of garam masala, turmeric and sesame seeds
Pinch of chilli flakes
Squeeze of lemon juice
1 tbsp fresh coriander, chopped
Plain flour and water, mixed to a glue-like paste

Method

Step 1

Cut wraps into halves ready to make into pockets for the healthy samosa.

Step 2

Spray a couple of pumps of oil into the pan on medium heat and roast cumin seeds.

Step 3

Add and sauté the onions, garlic and ginger until soft.

Step 4

Add cubed sweet potatoes (cut to the size of a pea) and mixed vegetables. Season with garam masala, turmeric, sesame seeds and chilli flakes. Cover and cook on medium heat (add a splash of water so the mixture doesn’t dry and helps soften the vegetables) for about 20 minutes or until soft.

Step 5

Add the lemon juice, sprinkle with the fresh coriander and allow the mix to cool.

Step 6

Use a flour and water paste to seal the straight cut side of your wrap “pockets.” It should be a glue-like consistency.

Step 7

Fill with the cooled vegetable mixture and seal the curved side of the pocket.

Step 8

Refrigerate for 30 minutes to allow the pockets to seal.

Step 9

Bake in the oven until golden.
