 Veggie Samosa is a delicious small triangular fried snack, originally came from India and right after spread out all over the world, Samosas also are the most popular Pakistani appetizer/snack, it has a flaky crust and is filled with spiced potatoes, peas chicken, mince or eggs.

Wrapped in a thin pastry and fried to perfection served with mint chutney or ketchup. But here I am using dough to make samosa instead of a samosa sheet (manda Patti), I prefer to make samosa from dough it becomes more delicious than samosas Patti

It may take you some time but never compromise with taste
Samosa dough is prepared with all-purpose flour by adding carom seeds, ghee, and salt, using water quantity is just around 50 ml, a bit tight dough neither too hard nor soft

One thing keeps in your mind, samosas,namakpare aren’t required puffy, these snacks are just flaky and crispy crust required which actually comes from dough texture either you knead soft/dough or keep the quantity of ghee less or more in both cases cant get the desirable result of samosa, So be careful to knead the dough, let’s begin 
                         
veggie-samosa


To make a samosa first we take all ingredients 

       
ingredients-of-samosa


And prepare all veggies besides boiled vegetables, remove the skin of half potatoes and half of let it be with skin, then coarsely  chop set aside until required

Make flour batter (like)for binding even can be used only water but flour batter is the best binding agent

In a bowl add flour along with all ingredients

Start kneading the dough by adding just 2-3 tbsp water, gradually add water till dough is formed and tight

I have explained in the above description how should be dough for samosa, cover the dough with plastic wrap cling and leave it for rest around 30 minutes

Transfer to the plate and keep aside

Take the dough out from the bowl and punch it for 1-2 minutes, roll the dough on a rolling board/slab like a thick rope 
                       


Divide the dough rope into equal portions around 2 inches wide

Take one portion at one time and give it to ball shape

Press it then roll about 2-3 inches in round shape

Now work with a half circle at a time apply the flour batter around the edges using a brush or fingertips_Now fold it into half as shown, make the cone shape by folding again the reminding half by overlapping slightly press it and seal that part properly

You can see the cone shape is ready_Put the two or three spoonfuls of stuffing in it don’t overstuff

Apply the water on the inside edges of the cone and press it to seal properly

Repeat the same shaping process for rest. Keep the shaped one covered with a kitchen towel so that they don’t dry out....

Shape 2:
If you are not fully sure that you will be able to make the acute shape of samosa then here I did share 2nd one method for your ease
You can make the samosa to give another shape too like potli samosa, probably you heard its name before
Just roll the dough in the last same manner and place the stuffing in the center on a rolled ball

Gather all edges from all sides, and give it to a little curve in its right direction as shown in the below picture,potli samosa is ready to make        
                                     
potli-samosa-is-ready

Once you are almost done shaping heat oil on a medium flame for deep frying samosa, the temperature of the oil should be just hot.
Not as hot as frying pakoras oil if the oil is too hot you will not get a flaky crust, Try checking by adding a small dough ball, it should stay in the bottom for a few seconds and then come on top steadily if it comes on top quickly that means oil is too hot
heat-the-oil
             

Slide 2 to 3 samosa at a time carefully into the hot oil. now lower the heat and continue frying turning occasionally for evenly brown

                                                         
fry-potli-samosa


You can see they start to get brown  until evenly nice golden brown color from both sides, drain out samosas from the oil

And transfer to the kitchen towel for removing excess oil, repeat the same process with the rest of the samosas
