Vegetable samosas are a popular snack or appetizer originating from South Asian cuisine. These golden, triangular pastries are filled with a savory mixture of vegetables such as potatoes, peas, carrots, and aromatic spices like cumin, coriander, and garam masala, all encased in a flaky, deep-fried dough. While rich in flavor and satisfying, samosas are often fried, which can contribute to higher calorie and fat content. On the healthier side, the vegetable filling provides a good dose of fiber, vitamins, and minerals. For a lighter variation, samosas can be baked instead of fried. They are commonly enjoyed with tangy chutneys or yogurt dips, making them a versatile snack suited for diverse palates.
