Cooking Instructions

40 mins
  1. 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. 2

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

  3. 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. 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. 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. 6

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

  7. 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. 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. 9

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