Now take the half tortilla. Make a cone  for the filling.

To make the cone start folding from the middle of the base (the straight side, not the circular side).

Wet at the seam in middle with a little water, and press both ends to together to make the cone form. Put 1-1/2 to 2 table spoons of filling in the center.  now wet the sides above it, to close it and put on the side until all 16 smosas are done.

Then heat the oil and fry until crust is golden as above. May serve with tea, or as an entree. Can serve with mint chutney, tamarind chutney, or ketchup, ot channa.
