Description

Cheese and sweetcorn samosas are delicious and crispy fried samosas stuffed with a cheesy corn filling and later deep fried until they turn crispy and golden. They are easier to make and can serve for a party or have it as a tea time snack. Let’s get started with the recipe.


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.
