Mutton should be boneless and tender, and it is advisable to buy mutton from known sources. The outer layer of Mutton Samosa is prepared from a simple dough comprising of flour, butter, cumin seeds, oil and cold water. The dough should not be watery and should be kneaded to a smooth dough. The dough is then rolled out into thin circles, ready to be filled with the prepared mutton mixture.
