Scale
Ingredients
For the Dough
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons oil
- ½ tablespoon salt
- Water as needed
For the Stuffing
- 2 tablespoons oil
- 1 tablespoon chopped garlic
- 1 cup boiled corn kernels
- ½ teaspoon black pepper powder
- 1 tablespoon oregano
- ½ tablespoon chilli flakes
- ½ tablespoon salt
- 1 boiled potato, grated
- ½ cup processed cheese, grated
- Oil for deep frying
Instructions
For the Dough
- In a bowl, add all-purpose flour, salt and oil.
- Mix and rub it nicely using your hands until the flour and oil gets fully incorporated.
- Then gradually add water and knead it to make a tight dough.
- Cover the dough and keep aside for a while.
For the Stuffing
- Add boiled corn kernels in a mixer jar and coarsely grind them.
- Heat oil in a pan, add chopped garlic. Saute till it becomes golden brown.
- Then add crushed corn and saute them for a minute.
- Now, add crushed black pepper, oregano, chilli flakes, salt to taste and saute well.
- Once the stuffing is ready or cooked, turn off the flame.
- Remove the stuffing onto a plate. Set aside to cool down a bit.
- Once it is cool, add grated boiled potato, and cheese. Mix it nicely.
For Samosa Sheets
- Knead the dough again.
- Apply oil to your palms and make small balls from the dough. Keep aside.
- Now take one ball and press gently with a palm to flatten it.
- With the help of a rolling pin, roll the ball to an oblong shape.
- Cut it from the centre, and place one sheet upon another. Sprinkle little flour to avoid sticking. Repeat the process for 4 layers of sheet.
- Take one sheet and apply water to the edges, and roll it from a corner to make a triangle cone.
- Fill the stuffing and fold the sheet. Apply water or flour paste to seal the edges and corners.
- Similarly prepare the remaining samosa in the same way.
- Heat oil in a pan on medium flame.
- Once the oil is hot, deep fry 5-6 samosas in batches on low flame until they get crisp and golden brown from all sides.
- Transfer them with a slotted spoon on tissue paper to remove excess oil.
- Serve these hot cheese corn samosas along with a green chutney, tamarind chutney or with a cup of tea as a tea time snack.
Notes
- You can substitute oil with ghee. Combine ghee into the flour and mix using your fingers till you get a bread crumb like texture .
- Make sure the dough is firm. Add water little by little and knead it till the dough comes together to form a ball.
- Lightly sprinkle some flour over the sheet and make sure it doesn’t tear the bottom sheet.
- You can use any cheese you normally buy from store or use half cheddar and half mozzarella if you want a more ‘stringy’ cheese.
- Seal the edges properly, else you will find the filling will spill out of the samosa when you fry it.
- Do not fry the samosa on high flame, else the outer layer will become crisp but remain uncooked from inside.
