About Shingara
Shingara, a beloved snack from Indian and Bangladeshi cuisine, is a savory pastry known for its satisfying crunch and flavorful filling. Typically triangular in shape, it consists of a thin, flaky dough encasing a spiced mixture of potatoes, peas, peanuts, and occasionally minced meat or lentils. The filling is seasoned with aromatic spices such as cumin, coriander, and turmeric, which not only enhance its taste but also contribute antioxidants. Shingara is traditionally deep-fried, giving it its signature crispy texture, though this cooking method leads to a higher fat content. While it offers a good source of energy and complex carbohydrates, its fried nature makes it a treat best enjoyed in moderation. Alternative recipes using baking or air-frying can provide a lighter version while retaining the essence of this cherished street food. Shingara is perfect for celebrations or as a companion to tea-time moments.
