My kids have been pestering me to make Samosa from base at home for many months. Most of the time either I do frozen samosa or with the samosa sheets. My son was asking for Indian type of Samosa. I have been postponing the making of it for one reason or other. Finally I got around it. My kids loved it. My kids gave me double thumbs up..

Add Water and knead into a smooth firm dough.
Wrap in plastic wrap and let it rest for 30 minutes. Divide Dough into small portions (slightly bigger than a golf ball).
Roll out each portion into a thin oval shape.Cut the oval down the center to make two semi-ovals. Lift one side of the flat edge and brush plain water on it. Lift the opposite side and overlap the two edges to form a cone shape. Press the seams gently to seal.
Serve hot with Tamarind (sweet) Chutney, Green Chutney or Ketchup.
