Ingredients :
- 2 medium red potatoes steamed and cooled
- 1 tablespoon oil
- ½ teaspoon cumin seeds
- ½ teaspoon fennel seeds
- 1 teaspoon coriander seeds
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon garam masala
- ½ teaspoon red chili powder
- 5 kawan roti chanai parathas or 2 puff pastry sheets
- 2 to 3 jalapeños thinly sliced
- 1½ cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 tablespoon oil to spray or brush
- ¼ cup Cilantro Mint Chutney
- 2 tablespoons sour cream
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- ½ tablespoon lemon juice
Directions :
- Peel and chop the steamed potatoes.
- Roughly grind cumin, fennel, and coriander seeds using a mortar and pestle.
- Heat oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the ground spices and sauté for about 30 seconds.
- Add the potatoes, salt, garam masala, and red chili powder. Mash the mixture well and let it cool.
- Preheat the oven to 400°F and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
- Allow the frozen parathas to sit at room temperature for 2–3 minutes until they soften slightly and are easy to handle. (Refer to notes if using puff pastry sheets instead.)
- Spread a thin layer of the potato filling on one half of each paratha.
- Add a layer of sliced jalapeños and shredded cheddar cheese over the filling.
- Fold the paratha over the filling, press gently to seal.
- Cut each filled paratha into 2 to 3 long strips. Twist each strip carefully, starting from the top and bottom.
- Place the twists on the prepared tray, sprinkle extra cheese and jalapeños on top. Lightly brush or spray with oil.
- Bake for 15–20 minutes, rotating the tray halfway through, until the twists are golden brown and crispy. Tip: You can also air fry them in batches at 360°F for 12 to 15 minutes.
- Blend chutney, sour cream, mayonnaise, and lemon juice until smooth. Serve the chutney alongside warm Jalapeño Cheese Samosa Twists for a delicious pairing.
