Once finished, cover the dough and let it rest for atleast 20 to 30 mins.

Then add in the mashed potato, mix well so all the salt and chilli powder is blended well.

Roll it out into small discs of 4 to 5 inch rounds. with about 1 to 1.5 mm thickness

The dough should be stiff and firm and not soft. This helps in getting crispy samosas
