    For the Dough:

    1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, salt, and oil.
    2. Gradually add water and knead to form a smooth and firm dough.
    3. Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for at least 30 minutes

    4. For the Filling:

       1. Heat oil in a pan over medium heat. Add cumin seeds and mustard seeds. Once they splutter, add grated ginger.
       2. Add the boiled and mashed potatoes and chopped mixed vegetables.
       3. Stir in garam masala, ground coriander, ground cumin, turmeric, chili powder, and salt.
       4. Cook the mixture for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally.
       5. Add chopped fresh coriander and lemon juice. Mix well and remove from heat.

       6. Assembling and Frying:

          1. Divide the rested dough into small lemon-sized balls.
          2. Roll each ball into a thin oval or round shape.
          3. Cut the rolled dough in half to form two semi-circles.
          4. Take one semi-circle, wet the edges with water, and form a cone by folding it in half.
          5. Fill the cone with the prepared potato and vegetable mixture.
          6. Seal the open edge by pressing the wet edges together.
          7. Repeat the process for the remaining dough and filling.

          Deep Frying:

          1. Heat oil in a deep fryer or a large pan over medium heat.
          2. Once the oil is hot, gently slide in the prepared samosas.
          3. Fry until they turn golden brown and crisp, turning occasionally for even cooking.
          4. Remove the samosas from the oil and place them on paper towels to absorb excess oil.

          Serve hot with mint chutney or tamarind sauce. Enjoy your homemade samosas!
