About Samosa
Samosa is a popular snack with roots in Indian cuisine, though it is enjoyed across many cultures worldwide. Traditionally, it consists of a crispy, golden-brown pastry shell filled with a savory mixture of potatoes, peas, spices, and occasionally other ingredients like lentils or minced meat. This iconic triangular treat is typically deep-fried, giving it its crunchy texture. While samosas are flavorful and satisfying, they are often high in calories and fats due to the frying process. Variations baked instead of fried offer a healthier alternative. The filling’s base of vegetables can provide fiber, vitamins, and minerals, while the spice blend contributes to rich flavor and potential anti-inflammatory benefits. However, moderation is key when enjoying samosas, as the calorie density and fat content can outweigh the nutritional benefits if consumed excessively.
