Samosa

Samosa

EverydayCooked

A samosa is a deep-fried triangular pastry originating from South Asian and Middle Eastern cuisines, typically filled with spiced potatoes, peas, or minced meat. The wheat-based dough becomes flaky when cooked, encasing a savory mixture seasoned with cumin, coriander, and turmeric. While providing complex carbohydrates from both the pastry and vegetable filling, traditional fried versions are calorie-dense due to their cooking method, though baked alternatives offer lower-fat options. This popular street food is commonly served as an appetizer with mint or tamarind chutneys, with vegetarian versions being adaptable for meat-free diets.
