Pre heat the oven at 185 Deg C
For making the Samosas:
Knead the dough again. Divide into small balls, dust with flour and roll out to thin 1 inch discs.
Trim with knife on all the sides. cut into two inch strips. Place a small portion of the stuffing and fold over the stuffing to make a triangle.
Continue with all of the balls. Grease on top. Arrange on a greased tray and bake at 185 Deg C for 30 mins.
For folding the samosas, please refer how I folded in Potato Peas Mini Samosa.
Notes:
Personally feel if we are dieting we can venture into this baking business, I liked it a lot. It's hard to convince six year olds about healthy eating. But Konda loves these sorts.
And yes, it also depends how many you bake at a time. If you bake more in one shot, it surely helps.

Looks like a really healthy version of samosas, how exactly did you fold the samosas ? Also did you prick the outside before baking?

I always pick up a pack of those mini samosas whenever I go shopping. Hubby loves those! The baked one are alright, but like you said, difficult to make when you have kids with high samosa expectations around!
