Instructions: To begin making Corn & Paneer Baked Samosa Recipe, first make the dough ,mix the flour and the salt well together. Soften the butter or ghee and combine into the flour and mix using your fingers till you get a crumb like mixture.Add water little by little to make a firm dough. Knead it till the dough comes together to form a ball.Rest the dough for about half an hour covered with a wet cloth at room temperature.While the dough is resting, mix all the filling ingredients together and keep aside .Preheat the oven to 220 C. Grease an oven dish with 1 tablespoon Oil or Butter.Divide the samosa dough into 20 balls, each about 1 inch in diameter.Take one ball and shape the samosa with the corn and paneer filling.Samosas can be shaped in two ways – Roll into a triangle. Place some filling in the center. Bring edges together and seal them to form a pyramid.Or roll into a circle. Cut across the center to form semi circles. Fill in the filling in one semi circle. Shape into cone. Seal edges.Repeat the same process of shaping and filling the samosas with rest of the dough. Place samosas on greased oven dish and bake at 220 C for 15-20 minutes until golden brown or if you wish deep fry them till golden brown.Serve the Corn and Paneer Samosas along with a Green Chutney or Date and Tamarind Chutney as a tea time snack along with a cup of Ginger Cardamom Chai.
