Method:
To make Crust:
Whisk together plain flour / maida and salt in bowl. Stir in oil until clumps form. Add 6 to 10 Tbs. cold water, 1 Tbs. at a time, until dough holds together. Shape into ball, cover with damp towel, and set aside for 20 mins. Roll out Crust dough to 11-inch circle on floured work surface.
I used the dumpling mould dough to make the samosa (see pics in right- Fresh).
Heat Oil in a medium non-stick pan on medium heat
Deep fry the samosas on low to medium heat until light brown.
