3. Pinch a lemon sized portion from the dough and work it on a smooth surface. Using a rolling pin roll the dough into oval shape
 

Cut in the middle. You get two halves which can make 2 samosas. Folding explained in this picture:

After folding is done, folded samosas line up to be fried ..

Samosa Filling :

1. Cook potatoes, peel and mash it well.
2. If using frozen peas, defrost and keep them in warm water for 5 mins.
3. Heat 2 tbsp of oil, add jeera. When jeera turns brown, add onions and fry till they are soft.
4. Reduce heat and add turmeric, coriander powder, jeera powder, garam masala,
sprinkle 1 tbsp of water and mix well. Adding water prevents these masalas from getting burnt.
