8) Keep it aside and cover it with a cloth. we will make the potato filling for Samosa now. For potato mixture, we will not use knife to dice them. Instead, we will use our hand to mash it.

9) Peel Potato skin and mash them with your hand. Do not mash too much or too less. some potato pieces would taste good in samosa.

10) Now, take a pan and add 1/2 Tbsp of Oil. Heat it on high flame. Once hot, add Cumin seeds and wait till they get golden brown in color.

12) Add Potatoes and Salt (1/2 tsp). Switch off the stove. Mix it well. Spicy Potato mixture is now ready. Keep it aside to cool down to room temperature (about 5 minutes).

13) In the meen time, the Samosa dough has already spent 15 minutes on shelf. it also needs about 25 minutes of sitting time. Lets start making the Samosa with Potato mixture and dough.

14) Take a small portion of dough and make a round flatbread by rolling it wiith rolling pin. We can make 2 Samoses with 1 Chapati. Divide it into two prtions with a knife. 

15) Now, keep the round portion on your side. fold it to make a cone as shown.

17) Press it lightly so make them stick together. Now, hold the cone in your palm with thumb and index finger. Fill the Potato mixture (about 1.5 tsp) in this cone.

22) Lets start frying the Samosas now. Take a frying pan and fill it 75% with oil. This much oil is required to avoid the red/brown patches on the Samosa skin.

23) The red/brown patch comes up if the samosa touches the base of frying pan while frying. So, extra oil makes sure that Samosa floats on its surface and does not touch the base.

24) Another point to keep in mind is that we have to heat the oil on high flame first. Once hot, turn the stove on medium.

25) Samosa needs to be fried on medium flame only. if you fry it on high flame, they might get pimples on their skin. Add Samosas in the hot oil on medium flame. 

26) Let them fry on medium flame until they turn light golden brown in color. Keep turning them upside down frequently. Also, once they are a bit cooked from one side, they will start floating in the oil. Make sure that they don't touch the frying pan base.
