Make the Dough
- In a bowl, combine all-purpose flour and carom seeds. Add oil and gradually add water, mixing until a soft, pliable dough forms. Knead for 5-7 minutes until smooth.
- Alternatively, use store-bought samosa pastry sheets.

- If using store-bought sheets, follow package instructions for filling and shaping.

Recipe Notes
Expert Tips for Perfect Cheesy Italian Samosas
- For extra flavor, sauté the onions and garlic before adding them to the filling.
- Adjust the amount of chili according to your spice preference. Start with less and add more if desired.
- Don't overcrowd the pan when frying the samosas. Fry in batches to ensure even browning and crispiness.
- For a crispier samosa, allow the filled samosas to rest for 15-20 minutes before frying. This allows the dough to set and helps prevent leakage during frying.
