Veg Samosas

This is the 3rd post for BM#28 under Samosas with different filling.
This is a very simple Samosa recipe. I have used self raising flour instead of plain flour in this recipe. Self Raising flour made the coating really fluffy. It was very crispy from out & soft/ fluffy inside.  You can add in more vegetables if you want. I just added potatoes & Peas. I am feeling very guilty after eating Samosas for the last 2 days. I now need to swim for longer duration to get rid of all those extra fat that I have put on in the last few days.

Makes: 10 medium size samosas
