Here’s the filling

Divide your dough in lemon sized balls(just a bit larger than that).Then roll out each ball

Cut in two  halves

Fold into cones

Stuff the cones with filling

Make a back-bone of the samosa.This helps it stand.

Now overlap the side with backbone to the front side. Press to close the samosa

Deep fry all samosas .Initially fry on medium heat for 5 minutes. This will cook the dough inside out.

Then raise heat levels, and on high flame, cook until brown and crispy.
