Logs: Steam cauliflower in a large pan for 10 minutes.

If using frozen peas, defrost; addpeas and steam for 3 more minutes.

Transfer cauliflower and peas to a bowl and add coconut, curry powder, cayenne or paprika, cilantro, lemon juice and salt. Toss to mix. Allow mixture to cool slightly and divide into 12 portions, about ½ cup each.

Place one chapati on a work surface and brush lightly with water.

With your hands, shape a portion of the vegetable mixture into a log.

Place about 1½ inches from the botom edge of the chapati. Roll chapati halfway, fold in sides, then finish rolling into a log. Place on a baking sheet, seam side down. Repeat processwith remaining chapatis.

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Spray or brush samosas lightly with o8il. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, until crisp and golden. Cut each samosa in half. Makes 24 logs; serves 8. Serve with fruit-sweetened tomato chutney.
