Tips for Making Crispy Samosas at Home:

• Perfect Dough or Wrappers: Ensure homemade dough is stiff yet pliable. For store-bought wrappers, keep them covered with a damp cloth to prevent drying.
• Seal Properly: Use a flour-water paste to tightly seal edges and prevent oil seepage while frying.
• Oil Temperature: Fry on medium heat for even cooking; high heat can result in a crispy exterior but undercooked inside.
• Baking Alternative: For healthier samosas, bake them in an oven like the Wipro Vesta 28 L Oven Toast Grill, which ensures even heating and a perfectly crisp texture.
