(Note:- Peas are optional &  it is your own choice. But I prefer putting it as it adds a good taste and flavour to the samosas.)

6. When both potato and peas soften, add the amchur powder and mix it well.

7. Cook for another 2-3 minutes and the Aloo Masala/ Aloo stuffing is ready.

Mixture for sealing the samosas-

Before making the samosas, simply mix water and maida in a bowl and use this mix for sealing the samosas.

Making the Samosa:-

1. Take the dough and make small balls from it.

2. Now take one ball and roll it into a round or oval shape and then cut it into two equal portions with the help of a knife.

3. To make the samosa, take one of the portions and make it into a cone and fill the stuffing.

4. After filling the stuffing, apply the sealing mixture around the open ends and press firmly to seal the ends.

5. In this way, we will make all samosas.

6. Now heat the oil in a pan for deep frying the samosas.

7. Put 3-4 samosas at a time for frying.
