Take all the ingredients for the filling together & mix them. Keep it aside. Now for the samosa cover, take 3/4th cup refined flour & 1/4th cup wheat flour. To this, add a pinch of salt. Mix together & add 1tsp ajwain. Now add 2tbsp oil & enough water to knead it. The dough should be slightly tight. Knead it properly for 5minutes. Then let it rest for 15minutes.
