What is a Cheese Corn Samosa ?
A cheese corn samosa is just what the name says: a snack that replicates the form and taste of a classic samosa but is baked in a mold and filled with cheese and sweet corn. It has layered filling consisting of seasoned vegetables, mashed potatoes, and a cheesy creamy filling, all encased in crispy samosa-style pastry or bread crust.
It’s essentially a fusion of three favorite snack elements:
• Samosa – for the crust and spice profile
• Cheese corn sandwich – for the gooey, creamy center
• Savory – for its unique shape and layered experience
This savory delivers the crispy edges of a samosa and the softness of melted cheese in every bite
