Samposa is a popular snack in many South Asian countries, also known as samosa or sambusa. It is a fried or baked pastry filled with various ingredients, like vegetables, meat, cheese, or spices. In this recipe, we will be making a cheesy samposa, with mozzarella cheese and parsley. The mozzarella cheese is known for its mild flavor and meltability, making it perfect for this recipe. The parsley provides a fresh and green flavor, balancing out the richness of the cheese. This samposa recipe is perfect for any occasion and is sure to be a crowd-pleaser.

Instructions

1.	In a mixing bowl, combine the mozzarella cheese, parsley, and black pepper.
2.	Cut the spring roll wrappers diagonally into two equal halves.
3.	Scoop out 1 tablespoon of the cheese mixture and place it at the bottom edge of the wrapper.
4.	Fold the two sides of the wrapper inward and roll it up tightly, like a burrito.
5.	In a separate mixing bowl, combine the flour and water, whisking until it forms a smooth batter.
6.	In a frying pan, heat the sunflower oil over medium heat.
7.	Dip the samposa in the batter and place it in the hot oil.
8.	Fry for 2-3 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.
9.	Remove the samposa from the oil using a slotted spoon and place it on a plate lined with paper towels to remove excess oil. Serve hot.
