Indian Samosa Wraps

I created these beautiful and delicious Samosa Wraps tonight.  I had purchased Amy's Indian Samosa Wraps from the frozen section at Whole Foods and knew I could create these in my own kitchen.  I started with garlic, onion, potatoes and carrots.  After cooking for about 10 minutes, I added vegetable broth, peas, sun dried tomato, fresh jalapeno, salt, curry powder, ground ginger, coriander, cumin, cayenne pepper and lemon juice.  THE FLAVOR WAS SO DELICIOUS and only 4 grams of fat. Amy's Samosa Wraps were half the size of mine with more than double the fat.  I made my own whole wheat tortillas which were a blend between a tortilla and naan bread.  After making the tortillas, keep them wrapped so they stay soft until ready to use.

Wheat Tortillas

Makes 4

2 cups white whole wheat flour

2 tsp. aluminum free baking powder

1 tsp. salt

2 tsp. Earth Balance Butter

1 cup Coconut Milk (So Delicious 50 Calorie unsweetened)

1.) Mix together the flour, baking powder and salt.  Work in Earth Balance Butter with a hand pastry blender.

2.)  Slowly add warm coconut milk.  Stir until a loose, sticky ball is formed.

3.)  Knead for two minutes on a floured surface.  Dough should be firm and soft.  Place dough in a bowl and cover with a damp cloth for 30 minutes. This stage is very important.

4.)  After the dough has rested, divide into 4 equal parts.  Make each section into a ball and roll out to about a 10" - 12" circle.

5.)  Heat griddle to high.  Add first tortilla. Flip after a minute. Push tortilla down with spatula to produce air pockets.  Keep moving spatula around the tortilla to produce more air pockets.  Flip tortilla and continue with process until tortilla is lightly browned in a few areas of tortilla.  If desired you can brush tortilla lightly with Earth Balance Butter on one side.

6.)  Store tortillas under damp cloth until ready for use.
