Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a medium pan over medium heat. Add 1 teaspoon of cumin seeds and 2 finely chopped green chilies, sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant. Stir in 2 cups mashed potatoes, salt, 1 teaspoon chili powder, and 1 teaspoon garam masala. Cook for 2-3 minutes, then let cool. Mix in 1 cup mozzarella and 1/4 cup coriander.
  2. Flatten each slice of bread with a rolling pin and cut out circular pieces. Place about 1 tablespoon filling on one half, fold into a semi-circle, and press edges using water to seal.
  3. Dip each sealed samosa in water, allowing excess to drip off, then coat with breadcrumbs. Lay on a plate.
  4. Heat oil in a deep pan to 350°F (175°C). Fry samosas in batches for 3-5 minutes until golden brown. Drain excess oil on paper towels.
  5. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve warm with mint chutney or tamarind sauce.
