- Making Samosa Pinwheels
- Knead the dough. Divide dough into 3 equal parts and make them into a ball.
- Roll each one into a 12-inch diameter.
- Spread one part of the filling evenly over the rolled dough.
- Roll the sheet gently until you have a nice firm log. Use little water to seal the end.
- Seal both the side ends properly. Slice them 1 inch thick with a sharp knife. Press each Samosa pinwheel lightly.
- Mix all-purpose flour / Maida with water and make a thin batter.
- Heat oil in a pan for frying the Samosa Pinwheels.
- Dip Samosa Pinwheels in the batter one at a time and drop them slowly into the hot oil. Fry them until both the sides are golden brown. Repeat this process until all the pinwheels are done.
