Mix 3 cups of all-purpose flour with salt using your hands.

Gradually add water to make a soft dough.

Cover the dough and let it rest for 15 minutes.

Divide the dough into about 8 equal pieces.

Roll each piece into a thin round shape, about the size of your pan.

Dust the working surface with extra flour while rolling out the dough.

Once rolled, allow the rounds to dry slightly until the color changes.

Cut each round into quarters to form triangles.

Prepare a paste by mixing all-purpose flour with water to bind the samosas.

Take one triangle, fold it in half, and apply the paste to the edges.

Fill the pocket with about a tablespoon of the filling and seal the edges with the paste.

Heat oil in a pan until it reaches a golden brown color for frying.

Fry the samosas until golden brown, then remove them from the oil.
