As a typical desi girl, I love fried food especially samosas. They offer me and my family great comfort and experimenting with different samosa fillings has been one of my kitchen adventures! These paneer masala samosas are super juicy and spicy on the inside and crisp on the outside and don’t require chutney or ketchup even! If you try this recipe do let me know!
Happy Cooking!

Steps

40 mins

1

First we shall prepare the outer covering dough so that it can rest until we make Paneer filling. Add the ingredients under outer covering to a bowl and knead well to form a firm dough. Cover with samp cloth and let it rest for 15 mins.
2

To make the Paneer filling first make a paste of the tomatoes, 1 onion and green chillies in a mixer grinder.
3

To a pan with oil add the cumin seeds and fry until they sputter. Next add the paneer cubes and Fry until all the sides brown equally.
4

Remove the paneer to a plate. To the same add a little more oil. Fry off 1 large onion chopped finely until it becomes translucent. Then add the tomato onion chilli paste made earlier.
5

Add all the spice powders mentioned under Paneer filling ingredients. Mix well. Add 2 tbsp water. Cover and cook on medium low flame for 3-5mins.
6

Finally add the fried paneer cubes to the masala. Stir well until well coated. Let the filling cool.
7

With the dough made earlier divide into small balls. Roll each into a thin circle. Cut it In 4 halves. Roll each half into a cone. Add a tbsp of the Paneer filling inside. Using Maida paste or plain water seal the edges and pinch together without leakage. Form all samosas in the same way.
8

Deep fry the samosas in small batches when the oil is hot on medium flame. Adjust flame to prevent burning. Fry until fully golden brown. Transfer to a tissue to drain excess oil.
9

These samosas can be eaten as such without ketchup or chutney as the Paneer filling inside is saucy enough.
