About Singara

Singara is a popular South Asian snack, particularly cherished in Bengali cuisine. It is a deep-fried pastry filled with a mixture of spiced potatoes, peas, and occasionally roasted peanuts. The filling is seasoned with turmeric, cumin, ginger, and chili, giving it a rich, savory flavor. With a crisp, golden-brown exterior made from wheat flour dough, Singara is a satisfying treat often enjoyed with tea. While it is a flavorful source of quick energy due to its carbohydrate-rich filling, its deep-fried preparation adds a significant amount of fat, which makes it calorie-dense. The spices used in the filling, such as turmeric and ginger, may offer anti-inflammatory benefits. Moderation is key when adding Singara to your diet, as it’s not the healthiest choice but offers indulgence and warmth, especially on cool days.
