You can also add little groundnut powder to the vegetable

Samosa


Ingredients
5 spoon heaps of Maida
2 cups of muttor bhaji
Oil

Method

• Mix maida(4 spoons only) with little oil and Cold Water to make dough.
• Mix rest of the maida in a cup with water to make a paste
• Take small portion of the dough and roll it to make thin roti
• Heat the roti from both sides on tawa (low flame) till its half done
• Cut the roti into half
• Take this hald roti at a time and fold the straight edge to form a cone.
• Use maida paste to seal the side on the cone.
• Fill in the muttor bhaji in the cone
• Seal the round edge with maida paste
• Fry in oil on medium flame till its brown

Notes
While making cone, the folds should be such that if it is pressed flat it would be 1/3rd the size of half roti.
Also while sealing the round sides, seal it such away that the fold edge is on right or left side of the samosa
