Tastiest samosa i ate till date is made by my mom. That is mixed veg samosa. That too she used to kneed maida flour into a dough & then rolling them & cut & fill , fold & fry. Ufffff...so much of work. I used to help her in making samosa before marraige but never tried it independently. Coz that kneeding, rolling maida part is used to make me panic, Then my sis told me now readymade samosa sheets are available. So , dared to try samosa. Thought will prepare mom's version but then i thought will make my own recipe. & the result is CABBAGE PEAS POTATO samosa. I really don't remember how many samosas i made using this proportion. I made one samosa by 2-3 tsp filling.

7. Place a samosa patti on a clean & dry surface & fold the right bottom corner of the samosa patti on the opposite side to form a triangle. (use diluted cornflour paste to seal it)
8. Fill 2-3 tsp of filling we made & close them with remaining patty portion to form a triangle. Again seal them using diluted cornflour paste.
