Masala Samosa, a beloved snack from Indian cuisine, is a crisp, golden-brown pastry filled with a flavorful mixture of spiced potatoes, peas, and aromatic seasonings. The filling typically includes mashed potatoes, green chilies, cumin, coriander, ginger, and sometimes chopped herbs, all wrapped in a wheat-based dough and deep-fried to perfection. While rich in carbohydrates and bursting with bold flavors, its deep-fried preparation contributes to a higher fat content, making it an indulgent treat rather than an everyday snack. Masala Samosas provide a modest amount of fiber from the potatoes and peas, and the spices used offer various traditional health benefits, such as aiding digestion. For a healthier option, some variations use whole-wheat pastry or air-frying methods to cut down on fats while retaining the signature taste. Perfect for festive occasions or as evening tea-time treats, Masala Samosa remains a cherished culinary delight worldwide.
