Assembling and Frying the Samosas:
Divide the dough into small balls and roll each ball into a thin circle.
Cut each circle in half, creating two semi-circles.
Take one half and fold it into a cone shape, sealing the edges with a little water.
Fill the cone with the meat filling and seal the top with a little water.
Repeat with the remaining dough and filling.
