Divide into small balls. Roll oval shaped puri.Cut into halves. Make cone and fill the stuffing , seal the edges with help of water lining on the edges. Deep fry in slight warm oil once and then increase heat and fry.By this way you wont get any bubbles on samosa and also dough gets cooked well uniformly and becomes crispier too.

Note:
To make the backbone of samosa, after filling the cones,before folding,just twist the edge you are closing and then close. Also make sure you have filled in enough filling (generously).Then only you can get standing samosas!
Enjoy the dish! n don't forget Eat and Eat little MORE.. :)
