METHOD For Dough
First prepare a flexible dough: Mix flour and salt, rub in the oil, add water slowly to make the dough. Allow to rest. Take a ball size of the dough and roll it out with some flour. Cut into half to get a semi circle piece.
[Cut it into two parts like semi-circle]. Now take one semi circle and fold it like a cone. Use water while doing so. Place a spoon of filling in the cone and seal the third side using a drop of water. Heat oil in a pan and deep fry till golden brown on a medium flame.
Make sure the oil is hot enough before you begin to fry the samosas. Put them on kitchen paper to drain off the excess oil. Serve samosas hot with green chutney and tamarind chutney.
A tip on filling the samosa properly.
Close one side of the semi circle by applying water on the outer edge of the circle. Fold in such a way to get a small cones in which the filling is put. Seal well. 
Just pinch the edges, seal well by ' pressing ' .
