For the spicy rice samosa dough

Roll out a portion of the dough into 150 mm. X 75 mm. (6" x 3") diameter oval.
Cut the oval horizontally into 2 equal portions using a knife.
Take a portion and join the edges to make a cone.
Stuff the cone with a portion of the filling and apply little water on the edges to seal it.
Repeat with the remaining dough and stuffing to make 7 more samosas.
Heat the oil in a deep kadhai and deep-fry the samosas, a few at a time, on a medium flame till they turn golden brown in colour from all the sides. Drain on an absorbent paper.

An excellent way to use the left over rice. The samosa with schezuan sauce is tasting very nice. I tried this recipe and everyone just love it at my place. I never thought that left over rice could be used to make such a delictable snack.
