Prepare samosa filling

- Saute over low heat till mixture is well fried. Leave to cool.
Prepare samosa dough
- Place the water, ghee and 1 tsp salt in a pan and bring to a boil.
- As soon as it comes to a boil, put in the atta and arrowroot and mix well, over low heat, till it collects together in the center.
- Take the dough off the heat and leave to cool.
- Roll dough (using dry flour or arrowroot if it sticks) into 1/8″ thick rounds, 3″ diameter, and cut into halves.
- Take one half, wet the edges. Fold the straight edge at the center and join overlapping the other edge to form into a cone.
- Press the overlapping portion, and fill the cone with the filling, and press the edges together to seal the `Samosa’. Repeat, with the rest of the pieces.
- Heat the Soyabean Oil and over high heat, add as many samosas as come in without touching.
- Lower the heat to medium and fry to a golden brown on either side.
