Three ways to fix it
Ordered by what you give up.
Option 1 · One, with tea, and stop−255
One is a snack. Three is a meal with no protein in it. Never eat them hungry.
Samosa is not worth engineering. It is worth eating occasionally and deliberately.
Taste cost: None
Option 2 · Air-fried−120
Air-fried at 180°C.
Removes the absorbed oil, which is the actual problem. The pastry will not shatter the same way.
Taste cost: High — the shell is different
Option 3 · Change the snack−200
Roasted chana, sprouts chaat, or paneer tikka.
Protein instead of fried starch. Actually keeps you full until dinner.
Taste cost: High
