Instructions
1 Preheat oven to 160°C. Line a baking tray with baking paper.
2 Spray a large saucepan with oil and place over a medium-high heat. Add mushrooms, carrots, courgettes, capsicums and ²/³ cup cold water. Cook for 10-12 minutes or until tender and water has evaporated. Add peas, curry paste, chickpeas and spices. Cook, stirring, for 2 minutes or until vegetables are tender. Remove from heat and set aside for 20 minutes to cool. Stir through cottage cheese.
3 Place 1 filo sheet on a flat surface, spray with oil, top with another sheet and spray with oil. Cut in half horizontally. Repeat with the remaining filo sheets. Place 1/2 cup mixture onto each filo rectangle (parallel to shorter edge). Fold shorter edge over filling, fold in the sides then roll up (like sausage rolls).
4 Place parcels on prepared tray. Spray lightly with oil and bake for 30-40 minutes or until golden. Meanwhile, combine mint with yoghurt. Serve parcels with yoghurt dip, mango chutney and salad.
