How to Make Samosa

1. Now make balls from the dough.
2. Take 1 dough ball, apply 2-3 drops of oil, then flatten it with a rolling pin. You should make a very thin round flatbread.
3. After that, cut it in the middle and divide it into two parts.
4. Now make vertical cuts on one of them.
5. Then apply water on the edges with the help of your finger.
6. Now put another half portion over it, press their edges with your fingers and seal it.
7. Then roll it again 2-3 times with your rolling pin.
8. Then apply water on the half portion of the flattened side and close those sides by pressing them with your finger and make it like a cone.
9. Now fill it with 2 tablespoons of filling and close it from the edges using water. Here, your samosa should be sealed on all sides.
10. Next heat the oil in a deep pan on medium heat. You should use more oil to deep fry your samosas.
11. Now deep fry your samosas in batches on low heat until golden brown in colour. It takes 20-25 minutes for one batch and you should fry 3-4 samosas in every batch.
12. Continuously stir them very carefully with a spatula.
13. Wow, your yummy samosas are ready to eat.
14. Serve them hot with tamarind sauce as well as mint sauce.
