3. Gradually add water, a little at a time, and knead into a firm dough.
4. Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for 20-30 minutes.

2. Prepare the Filling:

1. Heat oil in a pan over medium heat.
2. Add cumin seeds and let them sizzle.

3. Shape the Samosas:

1. Divide the dough into small balls (about 4-6 depending on desired size).
2. Roll each ball into a thin oval or circle (about 6 inches in diameter).
3. Cut each circle in half to form two semicircles.
4. Take one semicircle and fold it into a cone, sealing the edge with water.
5. Fill the cone with 1-2 tablespoons of the potato filling.
6. Seal the top of the cone by pressing the edges together with water.
