Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil (for dough)
- 0.5 cup Water
- 1 cup Grated mozzarella cheese
- 1 cup Grated cheddar cheese
- 0.5 teaspoon Cumin seeds
- 0.5 teaspoon Red chili powder
- 2 tablespoons Cilantro leaves, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Green chilies, finely chopped
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 cups Vegetable oil (for frying)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and salt.
Add 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil to the flour and mix well until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs.
Gradually add water, a little at a time, and knead the mixture into a firm and smooth dough. Cover the dough with a damp cloth and set aside for at least 15 minutes.
In another bowl, mix together the grated mozzarella cheese, grated cheddar cheese, cumin seeds, red chili powder, chopped cilantro, green chilies, and black pepper to create the filling.
Divide the dough into 6 equal portions and roll each portion into a ball.
On a lightly floured surface, roll each dough ball into a thin oval shape approximately 6 inches in diameter.
Cut each oval in half to create two semi-circles.
Take one semi-circle, form a cone by bringing together the straight edges, and press them to seal. Fill the cone with about 1 to 2 tablespoons of the cheese filling.
Dip a finger in water and run it along the open edge of the cone. Press the edges together to seal the samosa well, ensuring there are no gaps.
Repeat the process with the remaining dough portions and filling to make additional samosas.
Heat 2 cups of vegetable oil in a deep pan over medium heat.
Carefully slide a few samosas at a time into the hot oil. Fry until they turn golden brown and crispy, turning occasionally to ensure even cooking.
Remove the fried samosas with a slotted spoon and drain them on paper towels to remove excess oil.
Serve the cheese samosas hot, accompanied by your favorite chutney or sauce.
