About Lentil samosa

Lentil samosas are a delicious and nutritious twist on the traditional South Asian snack. Originating from Indian cuisine, they feature a crispy, golden-brown pastry shell filled with a savory mixture of cooked lentils, onions, and aromatic spices like cumin, coriander, and turmeric. Packed with plant-based protein and dietary fiber from the lentils, these samosas make for a satisfying and filling option. They are often enjoyed as an appetizer or snack, served with chutneys or dips for added flavor. While they offer nutrient-dense ingredients, their healthiness can vary depending on preparation. Baked versions are a lower-fat alternative to the traditional deep-fried method, which can add extra calories. Whether baked or fried, lentil samosas are a flavorful way to enjoy a cultural favorite that's both hearty and satisfying.
