Keep the filling cold so the cheese doesn’t soften too much before wrapping.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n Mix the cake flour and water in a small ramekin to form a sticky glue-like paste.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Take one strip of samoosa patti and fold one corner over diagonally to form a triangle pocket.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/li>\n Spoon about 1 heaped tablespoon<\/b> of the cheese mixture into the pocket. Do not overfill, or the cheese will burst out while frying.<\/i><\/p>\n<\/li>\n Continue folding the strip diagonally, keeping the edges tight and sealed so the melting cheese doesn’t leak out into the hot oil.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Smear a small amount of the flour paste onto the final flap and press firmly to seal the samoosa completely. Repeat for the remaining filling.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n Heat oil in a deep pan or wok over medium-high heat.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/li>\n Fry the samoosas in batches of 4 to 6. Do not overcrowd the pan.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/li>\n Fry for <\/span>2 to 3 minutes<\/span><\/b>, turning occasionally, until golden brown and crispy.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/li>\n Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n Air Fryer Alternative:<\/b> Brush both sides with a light coating of oil and air fry at 190\u00b0C for 8 to 10 minutes<\/b>, turning halfway through until crispy and golden.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Tightly Sealed Edges:<\/b> Ensure every corner of the triangle is fully closed with the flour glue; any gaps will allow the melted cheese to escape into the frying oil.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Here is a quick, delicious recipe for Cheese & Chilli Samoosas\u2014a popular South African-style tea-time snack featuring a melty cheese center balanced with a sharp kick of fresh chilli.
