Stuff the cone with a portion of the stuffing, apply a little water along the edge and pinch it well to seal the stuffing. Repeat with the remaining dough and stuffing to make 14 more samosas.

Unlike the common samosas that are stuffed with soft, potato-based mixtures, the onion cheese samosa has a totally different stuffing, which gives it an exciting texture and unique taste too. The stuffing is also seasoned with red chilli flakes, which gives you a fabulous mouth-feel combining the gooeyness of cheese, the crunch of onions and the inherent heat of chillies.

Rolling and shaping the cheese and spring onion samosa is similar to the regular aloo and green pea stuffed samosa. All you need to do is keep a few pointers in mind to get perfectly fried samosas.

Tips for cheese and spring onion samosa. 1. Ensure the dough is smooth. 2. Also ensure that the rolling is smooth and there are no cracks on the surface, else the samosa might break or open up while frying. 3. Chilli flakes in the stuffing can be replaced with finely chopped green chillies or green chilli paste. 4. Pinch the edges well so the stuffing doesn’t spill out while frying. 5. Do not fill the cone completely. Leave a little space empty to seal it. 6. Make sure you fry the cheese and spring onion samosa on a medium flame, otherwise the plain flour covering will get cooked too soon but the stuffing will remain raw.

    1 3/4 cups grated processed cheese
    1/2 cup finely chopped spring onion whites and greens
    4 tsp dry red chilli flakes
    salt to taste
     

How to select processed cheese
  1. Processed cheese is sometimes sold in blocks, and quite often sold packed in individual cubes, sometimes with plastic wrappers or wax paper separating them. 
  2. Processed cheese should not be too crumbly or dry with the colour being relatively uniform.
  3. Check the expiry date and look out for any discoloration or moldy spots. 
     

How to select spring onions, hara pyaz
  1. Buy slender spring onions with plump white bulbs which are crisp and hard. 
  2. The base should be whitish in color for two or three inches.
  3. When selecting spring onions look for a bunch with crisp, firm leaves which are a uniform rich green.
  4. Avoid those that have wilted or yellowed tops. 
  5. Before using, discard spring onion greens with discolored, slimy, or wilted leaves if any. 
  6. You can keep spring onions in the fridge for a couple of days, and remember to wash them before use.

Cheese and spring onion samosa is so delicious. Must try for cheese lovers. The cheese oozing out in your mouth with every bite is just out of this world. So diffrent than the regular samosas with potato. Ideal to serve as afternoon snack, school tiffin or as a starter at parties. Must try !!!
