• Heat oil in a pan. Put the samosa into the oil, when it is medium hot. Deep fry them until they turn to golden brown in a low-medium flame. Don't fry on high flame, otherwise it will burnt from outer side and the inner side will not cook properly.

• Remove from flame and soak in absorbent paper. Serve hot Samosa with green chutney or ketch-up.
