  • Make lemon size ball of dough and roll them into a circle with the help of rolling pin. Cut the circle in middle into 2 semicircle.Take one side and fold it in middle and give them a triangular shape. Now fill 1 tablespoon of stuffing into it and press and seal the sides to give it a perfect samosa shape.
