About Onion samosa

Onion Samosa is a popular snack in Indian cuisine, celebrated for its crispy, golden pastry filled with a flavorful blend of spiced onions. Typically triangular in shape, the filling includes finely chopped onions mixed with green chilies, curry leaves, and a hint of turmeric, all wrapped in a thin, flaky dough. Deep-fried to perfection, samosas offer a satisfying crunch with every bite. While rich in antioxidants from onions and spices like turmeric, its high oil content from frying makes it calorie-dense and less suitable for frequent consumption. For a healthier twist, it can be baked instead of fried, reducing fat content while retaining much of its traditional flavor. Onion Samosas are often enjoyed as a tea-time treat or street food, reflecting India's vibrant culinary heritage. Pair sensibly with fresh chutneys or salads to add nutritional balance to this indulgent delight.
