- We will cook the potatoes that will become the low cost béchamel of this dish. We can boil them with water or make them in the microwave.

- We add the grated ginger root to flavor a filling that will come to life with the peas that we will mix little by little.
- We put the potato cut into pieces already cooked , season to taste and add the turmeric to give it color.
- We can add a little coriander , it will give color and fresh joy to a filling that is impressive.
- We fill the samosas and close them in such a way that we have a characteristic triangle of this type of dumplings.
