1
Prepare the Filling: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. In a medium mixing bowl, empty the pouch of TASTY BITE®/MD Butter Chickpea. Lightly mash with a fork, leaving some whole for hearty texture. Stir in the thawed peas, chopped coriander, kosher salt, and black pepper until evenly incorporated.
2
Layer & Cut the Pastry: Lay one sheet of phyllo pastry onto a clean work surface and brush lightly with melted butter. Lay a second phyllo sheet directly on top and brush again. Using a sharp knife or pizza wheel, cut the layered sheet lengthwise into three even strips.
3
Fill & Fold the Samosas: Place approximately 2 tbsp of the butter chickpea filling at one end of each strip. Fold one corner diagonally over the filling to form a triangle, then continue folding triangularly along the strip until the pastry is fully enclosed. Brush the outside surfaces lightly with melted butter. Repeat with the remaining phyllo sheets and filling to yield approximately 12 samosas.
4
Bake to Golden Perfection: Arrange the folded samosas seam-side down in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, turning once halfway through if desired, until beautifully golden brown, crisp, and flaky.
5
Whisk the Sauce & Serve: While the samosas bake, combine the Greek yogurt, chopped fresh coriander, lemon juice, and a pinch of kosher salt in a small bowl; stir until smooth. Transfer the warm baked samosas to a platter and serve immediately with the chilled yogurt dipping sauce.
