As with all spinners, leg spinners bowl the ball far slower (70-90 km/h or 45-55 mph) than fast bowlers, who can top 160 km/h (100 mph), and typically use variations of flight by sometimes looping the ball in the air, allowing any cross-breeze and the aerodynamic effects of the spinning ball to cause the ball to dip and drift before bouncing and spinning (usually called "turning") sharply. While very difficult to bowl accurately, good leg spin is generally seen as the most threatening type of bowling to bat against, since the flight and sharp turn make the ball's movement extremely hard to read, and the turn away from the batsman (assuming he or she is right-handed) is more dangerous than the turn into the batsman generated by an off spinner.
Good leg spin bowlers are also able to bowl deliveries that behave unexpectedly, including the googly, which turns the opposite way to a normal leg break, and the topspinner, which doesn't deviate significantly. A few exceptional leg spinners (notably Shane Warne) have also mastered the flipper, a delivery that like a topspinner goes straight on landing but travels quickly and barely bounces, often dismissing batsmen leg before wicket or bowled. Another variation in the arsenal of some leg spinners is the slider, a leg break pushed out of the hand somewhat faster, so that it doesn't spin as much, but travels more straight on.
To grip the ball for a leg-spinning delivery, the ball placed into the palm with the seam parallel to the palm. The first two fingers then spread and grip the ball, and the third and fourth fingers close together and rest against the side of the ball. The first bend of the third finger should grasp the seam. The thumb resting against the side is up to the bowler, but should impart no pressure. When the ball is bowled, the third finger will apply most of the spin. The wrist is cocked as it comes down by the hip, and the wrist moves sharply from right to left as the ball is released, adding more spin. The ball is tossed up to provide flight. The batsman will see the hand with the palm facing towards them when the ball is released.

Very easy. You will need to start with the following excercise.
Step1. Stand firm on your leg of favored side (say, right)
Step 2. Lift your left leg 30 degrees to the left and 30 degrees forward.
Step 3. Make sure you have ample space to spin your left leg without hitting the right leg
Step 4. Spin your left leg or spin about right leg while holding a pole
Let me know how it works out.

You gotta twist your wrist so your hand is facing your head when u bowl. If ur right handed aim to the right of the stumps and the ball should spin in towards the wicket. Left handed i suppose aim left of the wicket. Watch Shane Warne he was easy the best leg spinner ever.
