So the assembly process, once the paratha has been fried, needs to be quick and efficient.  It should not be too chewy, that is to say, you should not have to tug at it with your teeth.

Samosa is so so common in India (you literally get samosa and chai at every other street corner), we always considered it to be a quintessential Indian delicacy. But only later we read that it has its origin in Middle East and it was introduced to India during the Delhi Sultanate rule. It was later adapted as a  vegetarian snack with spicy potato filling in India (which is what is most popular in northern India). Anyway whatever the origin was, we can confidently say that samosa, especially Aloo Samosa is the most popular snack back home. It’s there in every party, office meeting, chai meet-ups, you name it and samosa will be there! Making samosa is a multi-step process so we are not going to say it’s super quick and easy. But the joy of biting into that homemade flaky crispy crust filled with spicy potatoes makes it all worth it.
