1 tbsp oil
8 samosa patti/spring roll patti
Salt as per taste
Preparation:
Mix the curd, jimikand, cashew nut paste, besan, salt, yellow chili powder, garam masala and coriander leaves in a bowl. Add little water if required and mix to make a thick batter.
Mix the figs, green chillies, onions, ginger, chaat masala powder and salt.
Take a portion of the jimikand mixture and stuff one to two teaspoon of the fig mixture in the middle. Shape into a round patty.
Heat oil in a non-stick pan and gently slide the kebabs and fry until golden brown. Remove and transfer to a serving plate.
Stuff the kebabs in a samosa patty/spring roll patty and fold into a triangle shape. Seal the edges.
Arrange the samosas on a baking tray. Start the oven at 180°C. Bake it in the oven until cooked from both the sides.

“This is an interpretation of the way I look at today’s eating habits and trends. Chaat masala is readily available in every grocery in India. When I first combined chaat with balsamic vinegar and honey, the chaat went to another level. You can substitute any kind of beans and lentils and cauliflower can replace the broccoli." – Ratnani
