  • Divide the dough into equal portion. Roll into a thin roti. Do this to all dough.
  • Heat a tawa on high heat. Put the thin roti on the tawa and cook less than 20 seconds on each side until the roti is cooked slightly.
  • Take it off the heat and cut in the shape of squares. Now slice it in the middle, so that you get a rectangle (See pictures for more detail). Now set this aside for a moment.
  • Meanwhile make the filling for the samosa...Peel Tapioca and Potatoes and grate it using coarse grater. Take this in a colander and wash well so that the starch from this goes away..

  • Season with salt and mix well..Now add in cooked tapioca – potato mixture and mix well. Cook this for 5 mins. Remove and set aside to cool.
  • Make a thick paste out of flour and water for sealing
  • Now take one of the rectangle and apply this paste all over the sheet..
  • Fold it from one side and from the other so that it forms in a shape of a cone..
  • Now put a spoonful of filling in it and seal it on all sides(see picture).
  • Set this samosa aside to dry up. Now make all samosas like this..
  • Heat oil for deep frying and fry this samosa on medium heat for 3-5 mins until slightly cooked. Remove it and set aside.
  • Now increase the heat to a high and fry again till golden brown..
  • Serve hot with ketchup or any dip.
