  • 2 tbsp oil
  • 1 cup ricotta cheese
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 cup cooked ground beef or sausage (optional)
  • 1/2 cup marinara sauce
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes (optional)

  5. 5Fill the cone with the cheese mixture and seal the top by pinching the edges together. Repeat with the remaining dough and filling.
  6. 6Heat oil in a deep frying pan over medium heat. Once hot, carefully add the samosas in batches, frying until golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes per side.
