About Samosas
Samosas are a popular savory snack originating from South Asian cuisine, particularly India and Pakistan. These triangular pastries are typically filled with a spiced mixture of potatoes, peas, and sometimes lentils or minced meat, encased in a crispy flour-based shell and deep-fried to golden perfection. Bursting with flavor, samosas are seasoned with spices like cumin, turmeric, and coriander, giving them their signature taste and aroma. While they provide a source of energy from carbohydrates and small amounts of protein, their deep-fried nature makes them high in calories and unhealthy fats, which can contribute to excessive calorie intake if consumed in excess. Opting for baked or air-fried versions can reduce fat content, while substituting whole-grain flour for traditional white flour can boost fiber content. Samosas are best enjoyed as occasional treats accompanied by fresh chutneys or yogurt-based dips for added nutrition.
