Paneer Samosa Recipe (Paneer Samosa Snack)

Ingredients

• 8 samosa patti (readily available in the market)
• oil for deep-frying
• 1 tbsp oil
• 1/2 tsp cumin seeds (jeera)
• 1/4 cup finely chopped onion
• 1 tsp ginger-green chilli paste
• 1/4 cup finely chopped capsicum
• 1 1/2 tsp dried mango powder (amchur)
• 1 tsp red chilli powder
• 1 cup finely chopped paneer (cottage cheese)
• salt (namak) to taste
• 2 tbsp finely chopped coriander (dhania)

Steps

1. Heat the oil in a broad pan and add the cumin seeds.
2. When the seeds crackle, add the onions and ginger-green chilli paste and sauté on a medium flame for 2 minutes.
3. Add the capsicum, dry mango powder, chilli powder, paneer, salt and coriander, mix well and sauté on a medium flame for another 2 minutes.
4. Cool completely and divide the stuffing into 8 equal portions. Keep aside.
5. Place a samosa patti on a clean, dry surface and put a portion of the stuffing in one corner of the samosa patti and fold into a triangle. Apply a little water at the edges and seal it.
6. Repeat with the remaining pattis and stuffing to make 7 more samosas.
7. Heat the oil in a kadhai and deep-fry the samosas in batches till they turn golden brown in colour from all sides. Drain on absorbent paper. Serve hot with phudina chutney.
