DOUGH
FILLING
To prepare the dough, in a food processor, combine the flour, baking powder
and salt; pulse to blend. Add the cheese, milk, egg white and oil; pulse
until the dough begins to hold together. Gather into a ball, wrap in
plastic and refrigerate at least 1 hour. (The dough may be wrapped in
plastic and refrigerated up to 2 days at this point; let stand 1 hour at
room temperature and proceed with recipe.)
To prepare the filling, in a large nonstick skillet, heat the oil. Add the
curry and cumin; cook, stirring constantly, until just fragrant, about 30
seconds. Add the onion, ginger and garlic; cook, stirring as needed, until
the onion is softened, about 5 minutes. Add the chickpeas, chiles and 3/4
cup water; cook, stirring gently, until most of the liquid is evaporated,
4-5 minutes. Remove from the heat and mash until fairly smooth. Gently stir
in the peas, lemon juice and salt, taking care not to mash the peas. Let
stand 30 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 425o F. Spray a baking sheet with nonstick cooking
spray. Sprinkle a work surface with a little flour. Place a small bowl of
warm water by the work surface.
Divide the dough into fourths and roll each between your palms into a ball.
Roll each ball into an 8" round and cut each in half. Moisten the straight
edge of a dough half with a few drops of water. Fold over the straight
edges, forming a cone, and press firmly to seal. Place about 2 tablespoons
of the filling in the cone, then moisten the cone's open edges with a
little water; firmly pinch the edges together. Repeat to make 8 samosas.
Place the samosas on the baking sheet and spray them lightly on both sides
with nonstick cooking spray. Bake 15 minutes, until lightly browned.

Notes: These delicious bite-size turnovers are a popular Indian snack.
They're usually made with potatoes, but chickpeas add a healthful protein
boost. Traditionally, samosas are deep-fried; here baking makes them every
bit as delicious without adding calories.
