Notes

  • Rub oil into the flour really well before adding water. This creates a short crust like texture and makes the outer crust crispy and flaky.
  • The filling has boiled potatoes and peas. You can use any filling of your choice.
  • Always fry samosa in low to medium heat for longer time till it gets crispy.
