Recipe Notes

Here are some tips for making sweet corn samosas:

  • Use fresh sweet corn kernels for the best flavor.
  • Don't overcook the potatoes, or they will become mushy.
  • Season the filling to your liking.
  • Use a deep-frying thermometer to ensure that the oil is at the correct temperature.
  • Fry the samosas in batches to prevent them from sticking together.
  • Drain the samosas on paper towels to remove excess oil.
