Now for the dough.
Take all purpose flour.
Add nigella seeds.
Add salt
And oil.
Rub the flour in between the palm to mix up the oil well. While rubbing we can see that of the flour we can hold in a shape that means its perfect we shouldnot put more oil. But the shape is not there while holding the flour in palm that means the oil is not sufficient.
Then by little water knead a tight dough and keep aside for 1 hour.
The dough should be stiff n
Heat oil in a kadhai.
Roll out the dough in a oval shape, should be little thick not too thin.
Cut the center and make two parts
Now join the edges to make triangle shape or cone shape.
Hold in hand properly..
Further place the potato filling with spoon
Press the filling little down .
Apply water on the edge and stick it properly and seal the edges.
Make sure to seal the samosa well. Place 5 to 6 samosa on a tray and cover . Dont make more at a time because they will dry soon.
So make 4 to 6 samosas and began to fry.
Heat oil for frying . The oil should be moderate hot ...not too hot..
Now fry the samosa at low flame till they are firm , golden and crispy.
Its ready to eat with Green chutney or Tamarind chutney.
