Vegetable samosas are a popular snack originating from South Asia, celebrated for their golden, crispy pastry and flavorful filling. These triangle-shaped pastries typically encase a spiced mixture of potatoes, peas, onions, and sometimes carrots or lentils, all seasoned with earthy spices like cumin, coriander, and turmeric. While traditionally deep-fried for a satisfyingly crunchy texture, baked versions offer a lighter alternative. Rich in carbohydrates and fiber from the vegetables, they can provide lasting energy, but their deep-fried preparation often increases calorie and fat content. A small samosa can be a relatively wholesome treat when enjoyed in moderation, offering vitamins and minerals from its plant-based filling. However, pairing it with fresh chutneys or a side salad rather than sugary sauces or additional fried items can help balance its nutritional profile. Vegetable samosas are a delicious and versatile offering rooted in Indian cuisine, often enjoyed as appetizers, snacks, or street food.
