Making the Filling:

Making the Samosa Pastry:

1. In a mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour, salt, and oil or ghee. Mix well.
2. Gradually add water and knead into a smooth dough. Cover with a damp cloth and let it rest for 15-20 minutes.

Assembling the Samosas:

1. Divide the dough into equal-sized balls and roll each ball into a thin oval or round shape.
2. Cut each oval or round shape into two equal halves.
3. Take one half and fold it into a cone shape, sealing the edges with water.
4. Fill the cone with the prepared cheese corn filling.
5. Seal the open edge of the cone by applying water and pressing gently to close.
6. Repeat the same process for the remaining dough and filling.

Frying the Samosas:

1. Heat oil in a deep frying pan over medium heat.
2. Once the oil is hot, gently slide in the prepared samosas, a few at a time.
3. Fry until they turn golden brown and crisp on all sides, turning occasionally.
4. Remove the fried samosas using a slotted spoon and drain excess oil on a paper towel.
5. Serve hot with your favorite chutney or sauce.
