Now add raisins, turmeric powder, red chilli powder, asafoetida, potatoes, green peas and mash it coarsely, mix everything properly and cover and cook for 4-5 minutes on medium heat.

Now remove the cover and cook on high flames for 3-4 minutes or until lightly charred.

Add the prepared masala, black pepper powder, dry mango powder, salt and mix everything properly. And keep aside for further use.

For Assembling Samosa

Take a medium portion of the dough, make a round peda and roll it thin in an oval shape.

Now cut in from the centre and take one half of it and make a cone shape of it and add the filling in it.

Now apply water on the open ends of the cone and fold it towards you, keep it down and give it a gentle press so that it can stand, make all others in a similar way.

Heat oil in a kadhai on medium heat and fry the samosas in it until golden brown from all sides, remove on an absorbent paper. Serve hot with tomato ketchup.
