In this recipe, we'll use a store-bought dough to save time, but you can also make your own samosa dough if you prefer. The filling is simple to prepare, and the samosas themselves come together quickly.

Ingredients

• Dough:
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 1/4 cup water (or more as needed)
• Filling:
• 1/2 jalapeno, deseeded and finely chopped
• 1/4 cup frozen corn, thawed
• 1 tablespoon chopped red bell pepper
• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro
• 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 1/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil

Directions

1. Make the dough: In a large bowl, combine the flour and salt. Cut in the vegetable oil using a pastry cutter or your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Gradually add water, one tablespoon at a time, until a soft dough forms. Knead the dough for a few minutes on a lightly floured surface until smooth and elastic. Cover the dough with plastic wrap and let it rest for 30 minutes.
2. Make the filling: In a medium bowl, combine the jalapeno, corn, red bell pepper, cilantro, cheddar cheese, mozzarella cheese, cumin, and salt. Mix well to combine.
3. Assemble the samosas: On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough to a thin sheet. Cut the dough into squares. Place a spoonful of the filling in the center of each square. Brush the edges of the squares with water. Fold one corner of the square over the filling to form a triangle. Bring the two opposite corners together and seal the edges by pressing down with a fork. Repeat with the remaining dough and filling.
4. Cook the samosas: Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Carefully add the samosas to the hot oil and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy. Drain the samosas on paper towels.
5. Serve: Serve the samosas hot with your favorite dipping sauce, such as chutney or yogurt sauce.
