CHEESE AND CORN SAMOOSA
1 cup corn
2 large onions (finely diced)
3 tablespoons oil
1 teaspoon whole jeera seeds
1 teaspoon ground garlic
½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon Aromat
1 teaspoon fine salt
2 cups cheddar cheese (grated)
1 cup mozzarella cheese (grated)
¼ cup flour
1 tablespoon crushed dried red chillies
3 to 4 green chillies (finely chopped)
1 bunch shallot (finely chopped)
Heat oil, add jeera seeds and ½ the onion and braise until softened. Add garlic, corn, pepper, crushed chillies, Aromat and salt. Simmer until corn cooked through. When completely dry, remove from stove and leave to cool.
Mix both the cheeses nd add the flour and toss, ensuring the cheese is well coated with the flour. This helps prevent the cheese from oozing whilst frying.
Add the cheese, remaining onions and greens and toss well.
VARIATION: Add finely chopped red and green peppers or 1 cup finely chopped mushrooms….
