Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Xanthan gum
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter, cold and cubed
- 0.75 cup Warm water
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 cup Mozzarella cheese, grated
- 1 cup Cheddar cheese, grated
- 1 small Green chili, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons Coriander leaves, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon Cumin seeds
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 cups Vegetable oil for deep frying
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free flour, xanthan gum, and salt. Mix well.
Add the cold, cubed butter to the flour mixture. Use a pastry cutter or your hands to blend the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Gradually add warm water, a little at a time, mixing continuously until a dough forms. Knead the dough gently for about 2-3 minutes until it is smooth and pliable.
Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for 20 minutes.
In a medium bowl, mix together the grated mozzarella cheese, cheddar cheese, chopped green chili, coriander leaves, cumin seeds, and black pepper to make the filling. Set this mixture aside.
After resting, divide the dough into 8 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a ball.
On a clean, lightly floured surface, roll out each dough ball into a thin circle approximately 6 inches in diameter.
Cut each circle in half to form two semi-circles.
Using your finger, wet the straight edge of the semi-circle with a little water, then fold the dough into a cone shape, pressing to seal the edge.
Fill each cone with the cheese mixture, then press to close the open edge, sealing it thoroughly. You can use a fork to crimp the edges and ensure a tight seal.
In a deep frying pan or pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat.
Fry the filled samosas in hot oil until they are golden brown on all sides, about 3-5 minutes per batch.
Remove samosas from the oil and drain them on paper towels.
Serve warm with your choice of chutney or sauce.
