Step 6
Divide the dough ball into small balls of even size.
Step 7
Dust the counter top with flour and roll out each of these balls into around 3 cm diameter.
Step 8
Get the small rotis and shape into a cone(just like the ones peanut vendor makes using paper).
Step 9
Press the cone tip with your finger, so that it is sealed.
Step 10
Get a tablespoon or more of the filling and keep in the cone.
Step 11
Seal the cone by gently folding the open end of the sheet. (Tip:- you can damp the end with water and press).
Step 12
Set a pan on the stove, add enough oil for frying and once hot fry the samosas 2 at a time to a golden brown color.
Step 13
Drain oil in a paper towel.with ketchup or coriander chutney.
Tip
Oil temperature is critical. Too hot and the outside burns before the inside cooks. Too cool and the snack absorbs oil and turns soggy.
