☘️Dough
👉Pour flour into a medium mixing bowl.

👉Mix until you have a smooth, stretchy dough.
👉Cover mixture with an airtight plastic wrap and leave to breathe for 15 minutes, then knead the dough to make it more stretchy.
👉Use a rolling pin to roll out the dough to a thickness of about 2-3mm.
👉Cut the dough in circles. You can use the tip of a round glass bowl if you do not have a circular dough cutter.
👉Cut those circles in two equal halves and smudge water on the straight part of the Semi-circular dough. Don’t close it yet.
👉Put a spoonful of the filling into the dough. Repeat until all the dough is finished.

👉Make sure the oil is not too hot for it. Fry until the colour changes to light brown.
👉Place the fried samosa on a paper towel to drain off excess oil.
