I usually use the egg role wrappers and they come out crispy. I've never tried making my own dough.

mizzrani try at your own risk but my abbu says that the key to a crispy samosa is to add enough oil. Maybe try adding 1 more tbsp of oil and see if the end result is any different?

make samosa dough by using,
1 cup plain flour,
½ teaspoon baking soda,
½ teaspoon baking powder,
½ teaspoon zeera,
3 tablespoons ghee/butter,
and salt
After the dough is ready,keep it covered with a damp cloth for about 15 minutes.

chemically,baking soda is purely sodium bicarbonate,whereas baking powder is a mixture of sodium bicarbonate and tartar.

I have made samosas from scratch a few times....and i made the filling like so...

-1 pound ,boiled peeled and cubed potatoes
-1 medium onion chopped
-a handful of green chillies chopped
-a handful of chopped cilantro
-regular spices(salt,crushed red chilli flakes,whole zeera,whole coriander seeds aka sookha dhaniya whole)
-a few leaves of fresh mint(if u have them)

_mix all together and fill the samosas and fry them...
(P.S...my aunt uses kalonji seeds too in the filling....i like them,but havent tried myself)
