- Salt to taste

Preparing the Samosa:
To prepare the crust,
- Knead the dough using water and oil mixing all other
mentioned ingredients
- Covering it with a moist muslin cloth will keep it
soft and moist.
- Keep it aside for 15 to 20 minutes
To prepare the stuffing:
- Blend all the ingredients well including the mashed
potato. For better taste, often the mixed content is fried lightly in small
amount of oil.
To prepare the final Samosa:
- One can give any shape to the dough and stuff but the
most common shape is small cones.
- Fill the stuffing into them and pack them from the
wide end of the cone. To ensure that they are sealed use a few drops of
water. One can also prepare a temporary sealing paste using flour and water.
- Heat oil in a frying pan
- Deep fry the samosas till golden brown
- Serve hot with ketchup or tamarind chutney
