Add red chilli powder, lemon juice, salt and paneer cubes. Mix the ingredients properly and stir-fry for a minute. Once done, remove from flame.
• Now, to prepare the samosa, uncover the dough and take portions of it. Prepare small balls of the dough and roll them in small/medium puris. Cut them into half using a knife. Take one half of the puri and shape it into cones using edge of your palm. Stuff it with 1 or 2 tablespoon of this paneer mixture. Fold and seal the edges with little water.
• Repeat the same procedure with other samosas. Meanwhile, heat ghee in a deep pan/karahi. Carefully place the samosas in the ghee and deep fry them on medium-high flame. Once it is golden brown in hue, turn off the flame and transfer the paneer samosas in a serving plate. Serve hot with green chutney or tomato ketchup.
