Every one have some weak points. Desi people's weakness is spicy food. They just love to eat whatever tingles with their taste buds and aromatic enough provoke their appetite. Biryani, tikka, samosa, pakora tops the list. You could bribe a desi with a samosa (but don't try to bribe with one that's gone cold and soggy, he will murder you).
Warm, crispy samosa filled with spicy filling, served with a chilli chutney. Just add a steaming hot cup of chai, and you have a dream-ingly perfect day.
And whats better than homemade samosa. Make a batch because you could never have enough. Freeze the left over. And make them all over again. Recipe for a happy desi life.

TIP OF THE POST
For long-lasting crispy samosa, air dry the samosa for an hour before frying, because freezing makes them moist.
Heat oil then fry on low flame. Take all your time. Slow frying is the secret of golden crispness of samosa.
Put cooked samosa on a cooling rack, in an airy spot, so the steam gets out quickly. Turn them often, so both side cools down fast. If you skip this step the downside of samosa will lose its crispness.
