About Fried samosa

Fried Samosa is a crispy, golden-brown pastry commonly enjoyed in South Asian cuisine, particularly in India, Pakistan, and Nepal. This savory snack features a triangular, flaky shell filled with a spiced mixture of potatoes, peas, and sometimes lentils or ground meat, flavored with aromatic spices like cumin, coriander, and turmeric. Samosas are typically deep-fried, which gives them their signature crunch and rich texture. While they are a delicious treat, the frying process adds significant calories and fat, making them less ideal for regular consumption if prioritizing heart health or weight management. However, the filling often provides fiber from vegetables and legumes, with spices offering potential anti-inflammatory benefits. Pairing samosas with fresh salads or yogurt-based dips can balance the indulgence with lighter, nutrient-packed accompaniments.
