For the Filling:
- 1 cup sweet corn kernels fresh or frozen
- 1 medium potatoes boiled and mashed
- 1 small onion finely chopped
- 1 small green chili finely chopped (adjust to taste)
- 1/2 teaspoon ginger grated
- 1/2 teaspoon cumin seeds
- 1/2 teaspoon garam masala
- 1/2 teaspoon coriander powder
- 1/4 teaspoon turmeric powder
- 1/4 teaspoon red chili powder adjust to taste
- Salt to taste
- 1 tablespoon oil
- Fresh coriander leaves chopped (for garnish)
For the Outer Layer (Samosa Pastry):
- 1 cup all-purpose flour maida
- 2 tablespoons oil
- A pinch of salt
- Water for kneading
- Oil for frying
For the Filling:
Heat oil in a pan over medium heat. Add cumin seeds and let them splutter.
Add chopped onions and sauté until they turn translucent.
Add ginger and green chili. Sauté for a minute.
Stir in the coriander powder, turmeric powder, garam masala, and red chili powder. Cook for another minute until fragrant.
Add sweet corn kernels and mashed potato. Mix well to combine.
Season with salt and cook for a few more minutes. Garnish with fresh coriander leaves. Allow the mixture to cool.
For the Samosa Pastry:
In a mixing bowl, combine flour, oil, and a pinch of salt. Rub the mixture together until it resembles breadcrumbs.
Gradually add water and knead to form a smooth, firm dough. Cover it with a damp cloth and let it rest for 30 minutes.
Assembling and Cooking:
Divide the dough into equal portions and roll each portion into a ball. Roll out each ball into a thin oval or circle.
Cut the circle in half to form two semi-circles.
Fold each semi-circle into a cone shape, sealing the edges with a little water.
Fill each cone with the prepared sweet corn filling.
Seal the open edge of the cone to form a triangular samosa.
Heat oil in a deep pan over medium heat for frying. Once hot, gently slide the samosas into the oil, a few at a time.
Fry until they turn golden brown and crisp on all sides. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
Serve your Sweet Corn Samosas hot with chutney or sauce of your choice. Enjoy this delightful snack with a sweet and crunchy twist!
