I get crispy samosa by adding some ghee (for 1 cup of flour - 1tbs ghee and 1 tbs oil) to the flour and mixing it up well and later adding the exact amout of water to the flour for kneading to get a soft dough.

You will get crispy samosa if you fry on low heat and the wrapper should not be very thin. Very thin wrappers usually makes samosa soggy.

Make dough by using cold water so crest is crispy.

If you add 2tsp lemon juice in your dough and fry on low heat your samoosa will stay crispier for longer time.
