Tips to make crispy samosa recipe
- Amount Of Moian : To make a perfectly crispy samosa at home, you have to strictly follow maida and oil ratio of 5:1; here I use 60 ml oil for 300 grams of maida, beyond this samosa crust may break while frying, similarly less oil make samosa crust hard.
- Cooking Method : At first, heat the oil on medium flame when the oil is hot enough then add the samosa and fry them on the medium-low flame till it becomes slightly golden brown. In this way, you not only make the samosa crispy but also do not form any blister on the samosa crust.
- Perfect Samosa Dough : For preparing a crispy samosa recipe, the dough must be stiff and nonsticky, and most importantly it should rest for at least 30 min before making samosa shape and filling.
- Thickness Of Samosa : Make sure to prepare samosa sheets in equal medium thickness size, too thick will become uncooked from the inside similarly too thin samosa will easily break-in oil.
