  • Knead the dough once again and divide them into 3 bals
  • Roll each ball into 6 inch diameter and divide the circle into half by running a sharp knife to get two semi-circles
  • Apply the all-purpose flour paste on the sides and hold the semicircle with your hand and gently roll it to make a cone
  • Now fill it with potato mixture leaving enough space to close the broader end of samosa
  • Gently seal the samosa by pinching the sides
  • Repeat the same step with left over dough balls
  • Heat oil in a pan to medium heat and when the oil is hot enough, place the samosas in the hot oil
