For samosa
  • cool down boiled potato completely, before you make stuffing
  • potato stuffing of samosa must be dry.
  • If flour forms a shape between your palms means oil is enough and well incorporated.
  • make stiff and smooth dough; do not make a soft dough.
  • do not use dry flour while rolling the samosa.
  • seal samosa with little water.
  • fry samosa on low-medium heat
for chutney
  • the consistency of sweet chutney should be thin and pouring so it will easily absorb into a samosa.
