Two samosas typically consist of pastry pockets filled with a savory mixture of spiced potatoes, peas, and occasionally other vegetables or minced meat. Originating from Indian cuisine, these popular snacks are known for their flaky exterior and rich, flavorful filling, often seasoned with turmeric, cumin, coriander, and green chili. Samosas are traditionally deep-fried, which makes them crispy but also increases their calorie and fat content. While they provide dietary fiber and essential nutrients from the vegetable filling, their pastry shell primarily contributes refined carbohydrates. The sodium level can also be high depending on the seasoning. Baked versions are a healthier alternative, reducing fat while maintaining much of the taste. Samosas are typically enjoyed with mint chutney or tamarind sauce, adding bursts of freshness and tang. Moderation is key to incorporating these indulgent treats into a balanced diet.
