Folding the Patti Samosa

1. Take one patti, and make a cone, fill the mixture in it, wrap the sides to form a triangle, and seal the edges using the prepared flour paste. (Please refer to the step by step pictures in the post above)
2. Do not overfill the cone with the mixture as it may cause the patti to tear or overflow.
3. Repeat the same procedure till all the mixture is used up.
4. Heat enough oil in a deep pan or a wok. Once the oil gets hot, reduce the heat to medium-high and fry the samosas until crisp and golden brown.
5. Do not fry on high heat to avoid burning of the samosas.
6. Serve hot with green chutney or simply with tomato sauce.
