• Divide the dough into small portions and roll each portion into a thin circle. Cut each circle in half.

• Take one half-circle and form a cone shape by bringing the two straight edges together, overlapping them slightly, and pressing the seam to seal it.

• Fill the cone with the potato and pea mixture, leaving a little space at the top. Wet the edges of the dough with water and bring them together to seal the samosa.

• Heat oil in a pan over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, gently add the samosas and fry until golden brown and crisp.

• Serve the ulta samosas hot with mint chutney or tamarind chutney.
