Tips
To make samosas cripsy, make sure you knead a tight or stiff dough as the soft dough will not yield best results.
Before kneading the dough, keep it in mind that you do not need to overwork it and mix the oil with flour at least 5-6 times. This will ensure you have crispy samosas.
You should keep aside the dough for at least 40-60 minutes for best results.
While rolling the dough ball, keep it thin and do not use any flour in it. You can use a little oil to roll the ball evenly.
Always fry the samosas on low flame irrespective of how much time it is taking to fry. This will also ensure that your samosas are blisters free and cooked from inside.
