Ingredients

- For the filling (optional):
- 2 boiled potatoes, mashed
- 1/2 cup mixed vegetables (peas, carrots, corn)

Instructions
1️⃣ Method 1: Homemade Samosa Sheets
- Prepare the dough: In a bowl, mix flour, salt, and oil. Slowly add water and knead into a smooth dough. Let it rest for 20 minutes.
- Roll out sheets: Divide the dough into small balls. Roll each ball into thin circles (about 6 inches).
- Cook lightly: Heat a non-stick pan on low heat. Place each circle for 10 seconds on each side — just enough to dry it out but keep it flexible. Set aside.
2️⃣ Method 2: Spring Roll Sheets
- Make a runny batter: Combine 1/2 cup flour, 1/4 cup cornstarch, 1/4 tsp salt, and 3/4 cup water. Whisk until smooth.
- Cook on a pan: Heat a non-stick pan on medium-low. Pour a thin layer of batter and spread it evenly. Cook for 10-15 seconds until the edges lift. Peel off gently and repeat.
✨ Filling & Assembly:
- For Samosas: Cut the sheets into halves. Form a cone, fill with your prepared filling, and seal the edges with a flour-water paste.
- For Spring Rolls: Place filling near one edge, roll tightly, folding the sides inward. Seal the end with flour paste.
🌟 Tips:
- Keep unused sheets covered with a damp towel to prevent drying.
- For extra crispiness, fry in hot oil until golden brown, or brush with oil and bake at 400°F (200°C) for 15-20 minutes.
