Preparing the soy stuffing:

• Boil enough water with a little salt. Turn off the heat and add the soya granules. Let it soak for 10 minutes.
• Drain water and rinse with cold water twice to get rid of the raw smell of soya granules. Keep aside.
• Heat a tablespoon of oil in a pan and add the grated ginger and finely chopped green chillies. Saute for a minute.

Preparing & frying the samosas:

• Roll each ball into a circle and cut it into 2 equal parts with a knife.
• The rolled dough should not be too thick or too thin.
• Wet the straight edge with little water.
• Now make a cone by joining the two edges by overlapping them. Press the edges well.
• Stuff the cone with prepared soya stuffing.
• Close the cone and seal it well. The edges of the cone should be sealed well so that the filling does not come out while frying.
• Continue filling the rest of the samosas and cover them with a moist kitchen towel.
