Baked samosa is a lighter, health-conscious take on the classic Indian snack, traditionally deep-fried. Originating from South Asian cuisine, samosas are triangular pastries often filled with spiced potatoes, peas, and onions, though variations may include lentils or ground meats. Baking instead of frying significantly reduces fat content, making it a healthier option while retaining the signature crispy texture. The filling offers nutritious components such as fiber-rich potatoes and peas, along with fragrant spices like cumin, coriander, and turmeric, known for their anti-inflammatory properties. However, its healthfulness may vary depending on the dough, which can contain refined flour, and the portion size. Paired with chutneys or enjoyed on its own, baked samosas provide a satisfying balance of flavor and nourishment, ideal for those seeking a guilt-free version of this beloved culinary staple.
