Chandigarh, Jan 5: If you’re craving a snack that feels festive without stepping out, cheese corn samosa is an easy indulgence you can make at home. Crispy on the outside and filled with creamy cheese and sweet corn, this modern twist on the classic samosa has become a favourite across cafés and home kitchens alike, appealing equally to children and adults.
What makes cheese corn samosa stand out is its balance of flavours. Unlike traditional samosas that rely heavily on spices, this version keeps things mild and comforting. The natural sweetness of corn blends with the gooey richness of melted cheese, while light seasoning adds depth without overpowering the filling. It’s this simplicity that has made the snack popular at birthday parties, evening gatherings, and casual get-togethers.
The good news is that making cheese corn samosas at home is neither time-consuming nor complicated. With easily available ingredients and a straightforward method, they are ideal for weekend cooking or sudden hunger pangs when ordering food feels unnecessary.
For the filling:
Boiled sweet corn (coarsely crushed), grated mozzarella or processed cheese, finely chopped onion, capsicum and green chilli, black pepper powder, red chilli flakes, mixed herbs or oregano, salt to taste, and butter or oil.
For assembling:
Samosa patti or spring roll sheets, and flour-water paste for sealing.
For frying:
Oil for deep frying.
Begin by heating butter or oil in a pan and sautéing onions until soft. Add capsicum and green chilli, cooking briefly to retain a slight crunch. Stir in crushed sweet corn and sauté on medium heat, seasoning with salt, black pepper, chilli flakes and herbs. Once combined, turn off the heat and mix in the grated cheese. Allow the filling to cool completely.
Place the cooled mixture onto samosa patti or sheets, fold neatly into triangles and seal the edges using flour-water paste. Deep fry on medium heat until the samosas turn golden and crisp. Drain excess oil and serve hot with green chutney, tomato ketchup or a cheese dip.
Crisp, creamy and comforting, cheese corn samosas prove that you don’t need elaborate recipes to create something special. Sometimes, a familiar snack with a small upgrade is all it takes to elevate an ordinary evening.
