The Indian samosa is a popular savory pastry with origins deeply rooted in South Asian cuisine. Typically triangular in shape, it is made by filling a thin, flaky dough with a mixture of spiced potatoes, peas, and occasionally lentils or minced meat. The filling is seasoned with aromatic spices like cumin, coriander, and garam masala, then enclosed in the dough and deep-fried to golden perfection. While samosas are rich in flavor and satisfying as a snack, their deep-fried preparation contributes to their high calorie and fat content. On the positive side, the vegetarian filling offers fiber and nutrients from the vegetables and spices. To enjoy a healthier version, consider baking or air-frying samosas instead of deep-frying. Often served with tangy chutneys, samosas are beloved globally for their bold taste and comforting textures, making them a delicious and culturally iconic treat.
