Corn & Cheese Samoosas
Golden, shatteringly crisp pastry parcels stuffed with sweetcorn, melted grated cheese, finely diced onion, and fresh coriander.
Sweet, juicy corn kernels tossed with sharp cheddar and mozzarella, finely chopped onion, and gentle green chillies, wrapped in paper-thin pastry and fried to perfection. Crispy on the outside, molten and cheesy on the inside, and packed with generations of love!

Ivana’s note
To Freeze: Arrange uncooked, folded samoosas in a single layer on a tray lined with baking paper and freeze until solid (approx 2 hours). Transfer to a ziplock bag and store in the freezer for up to 3 months. Fry straight from frozen in medium-hot oil (do not thaw!).
Mum’s note
Make sure the corners of your triangles are folded tight with no gaps! If there is a hole at the tip, melted cheese will escape into the hot oil and cause splattering.
