MethodPreparing Dough

* In a bowl mix together flour, salt and oil. With hands mix it well till the mixture is coarse.

Preparing Filling

* In a saucepan heat 2 tbsp of oil.

* Add chopped onions. Fry till golden brown.

* Add rest of the spices- garam masala, turmeric powder, salt and ginger garlic paste.

* When the spices are cooked add Dal and let it cook for few minutes.

* Add chopped coriander mix well.

* Let the Dal filling cool before making samosas.Making Samosas

* Make small balls from the dough. Roll each ball into a big round. It should not be very thin.

* Cut it into 2 halves using a knife. Pick one half and make a cone out of it.

* Add the filling into the cone. Seam the mouth and open edges with a little water, by pressing the ends. Take care in doing this so that it may not open while frying.

* Do the same with the rest of the dough.

* When done, heat oil in a wok and deep fry all the samosas till golden brown.

* Serve them hot with ketchup.

Note: To remove excess oil, press the samosas on paper napkins.
