Filling the mixture into Samosa layer

Fold the samosa layer in triangale shape and slightly apply water in border for pasting.  Make sure filling doesnt come out from folded one.

Now we are in final step,arrange all samosa in plate separatly. Deep fry the samosas until it turns golden brown. This is great evening time snack one could have at the great taste.
