Samosa, the most famous street snack, gets a make over! we have used paneer and capsicum instead of the usual potato mixture. Health buffs, go for low-fat paneer and bake in a pre-heated oven at 200°c (400°f) for 15 to 20 minutes, or till done.
Ingredients
- 8 samosa patties ( readily available in the market )
- For The Stuffing
- 1 tbsp oil
- ½ tsp cumin seeds (jeera)
- ¼ cup finely chopped onions
- 1 tsp ginger-green chilli paste
- ¼ cup finely chopped capsicum
- 1½ tsp dried mango powder (amchur)
- 1 tsp chilli powder
- 1 cup finely chopped paneer
- salt to taste
- 2 tbsp finely chopped coriander (dhania)
- For Serving
- mint leaves chutney
Instructions
- For the stuffing:
- Heat the oil in a broad pan and add the cumin seeds.
- When the seeds crackle, add the onions and ginger-green chilli paste and sauté on a medium flame for 2 minutes.
- Add the capsicum, dry mango powder, chilli powder, paneer, salt and coriander, mix well and sauté on a medium flame for another 2 minutes.
- Cool completely and divide the stuffing into 8 equal portions. Keep aside.
- How to proceed:
- 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.
- Repeat with the remaining pattis and stuffing to make 7 more samosas.
- 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.
