Shape the samosas: Divide the dough into equal portions. Roll each portion into an oval shape. Cut the oval in half. Take one half, join the straight edges to form a cone, sealing with water. Fill the cone with the potato mixture. Pinch and shape the top of the samosa to resemble a heart, sealing all edges securely.

Fry the samosas: Heat oil for deep frying in a wok or deep pan over medium heat. Carefully drop the heart-shaped samosas into the hot oil. Fry on medium-low heat, turning occasionally, until golden brown and crispy. This helps cook them thoroughly from the inside. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain excess oil on paper towels.

Tips for Perfect Heart Samosas
Creating these adorable snacks is simpler than you think!
- Dough Perfection: The secret to that signature crispy samosa exterior lies in getting the dough just right. Using a good amount of oil or ghee (known as "moyan") and kneading it until smooth before a resting period ensures flakiness.
- Flavorful Filling: Our classic potato and pea filling is spiced to perfection with cumin, ginger-garlic, turmeric, red chili, coriander, and garam masala. Feel free to adjust the spice level to your preference! For a twist, you could even add finely chopped paneer or corn to the filling.
- Shaping with Love: While the specific method for forming the heart shape will be detailed in the instructions, know that a simple cookie cutter or careful hand-shaping can achieve this adorable look.
- Serving Suggestions: These golden beauties are divine on their own, but truly shine when paired with your favorite green chutney, tamarind chutney, or even a simple cup of hot chai. They are the ultimate evening snack to share with loved ones.
