Ingredients:
Instructions:
1. In a large pan, melt the butter over medium heat.
2. Add the finely chopped onion and green pepper to the pan, sauté until they are soft and translucent, about 5-7 minutes.
3. Stir in the drained sweet corn and cook for another 3 minutes.
4. Stir in the chopped chives and grated cheddar cheese until the cheese is fully melted and the mixture is well combined.
5. Season with salt and pepper if desired.
6. Remove the mixture from heat and let it cool to room temperature.
1. Roll out the puff pastry on a lightly floured surface to about 1/8-inch thick.
2. Cut the pastry into 4-inch squares or circles using a knife or pastry cutter.
1. Place a heaping tablespoon of the sweetcorn and cheese mixture in the center of each pastry square or circle.
2. Fold each piece of pastry over to form a triangle or semicircle, depending on the shape of your cut pastry.
3. Press the edges together with a fork to seal. Make sure there are no openings to prevent the filling from leaking out during frying.
1. Heat the vegetable oil in a deep frying pan or deep fryer to 350°F (175°C).
2. Carefully place the samosas in the hot oil, a few at a time, making sure not to overcrowd the pan.
3. Fry each samosa for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and crispy.
4. Remove the samosas with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels to remove excess oil.
1. Serve the sweetcorn and cheese samosas hot, with your favorite dipping sauce or chutney.
Tips:
- Make sure the puff pastry is adequately thawed before rolling it out, to prevent it from breaking.
- Grate the cheddar cheese evenly to ensure it melts consistently within the samosa.
- Drain the canned sweetcorn thoroughly to avoid making the filling too soggy.
- Use a pastry brush to apply a light wash of milk or egg on the edges of the pastry to help seal the samosas.
- Freeze the samosas for about 10-15 minutes before frying for better texture and to prevent the dough from tearing.
- Fry samosas in small batches to maintain a consistent oil temperature and ensure even cooking.
