Shape and fill the samosas
Step 3:Divide the dough into small balls. Take a dough ball and roll it into a thin oval shape. Cut it in half. Take one half and shape it into a cone by bringing the straight edges together and sealing them with a little water. Fill the cone with the potato and pea filling. Apply water on the edges of the cone and seal it to form a triangular samosa. Repeat with the remaining dough and filling.
