Instructions
Samosa filling:
Heat oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat. Add cumin seeds, and allow to splutter. Saute ginger until aromatic. Add ground fennel, coriander, garam masala and red chili powder. Saute for a minute. Add potatoes and green peas. Season with salt. Stir fry for 2 minutes. Stir in coriander (cilantro) leaves. Remove from heat. Allow to cool slightly. Stir in mozzarella. Set aside.
Make stuffed bread:
Preheat oven to 200C / 400F. Line a baking tray with parchment paper (baking paper).
Cut the French bread into two equal halves. Cut the two halves again into two equal halves so you have four pieces of bread. Use a long knife to cut out the middle section of each bread.
Fill each bread with the samosa mixture. Brush with melted butter. Cover each loaf separately in aluminum foil. Place on baking tray, and bake for approximately 20-25 minutes.
When done, unwrap the foil, and slice into quarters.
