Mint and Cottage Cheese Samosas are a popular Indian snack, typically enjoyed as a tea-time snack, appetizer, or part of a larger meal. These samosas have a crispy crust with a delicious, flavorful filling of cottage cheese, green chilies, and mint. They are a great alternative to the traditional potato samosas and are perfect for those who enjoy a little spice in their snacks. These samosas are easy to make and can be served with your favorite dipping sauce to add an extra layer of flavor.

Instructions

1.	In a large bowl, mix together the cottage cheese, chopped green chilies, egg yolk, chopped mint leaves, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
2.	Cut the samosa dough into triangles, each roughly 8 cm along the base and 15 cm high.
3.	Spoon a tablespoon of the filling mixture onto each triangle of dough, and fold the dough over to create a triangle. Press the edges firmly together to seal the samosa.
4.	Heat the vegetable oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat, and add the samosas. Fry the samosas until they are golden brown and crispy on the outside.
5.	Serve the samosas hot and crispy, with your favorite dipping sauce.
