On a floured surface, roll each portion into 3 inch diameter circle and cut each circle into half.Spread the water lightly all along the edge of the circle, fold into a cone.Place one or two tablespoons of spinach paneer filling in the center and seal the edges.Press to seal the edges of the samoas and use a fork and press on the edges of the dough to get the forked marks.Continue to make similar cone shaped samosas.Method to Deep fry the SamosaHeat pure olive oil in a heavy bottomed pan for deep frying on medium heat; gently slip in a couple of samosas into the frying pan and allow them to fry on medium heat. Turn the samosas around in the oil once they come floating to the top.Fry them till they turn into a light golden-brown colour on all sides.
