About One samosa
A samosa is a popular savory pastry originating from South Asian cuisine, particularly Indian and Pakistani fare. This triangular snack typically consists of a crispy, golden-brown fried outer shell made from flour, encapsulating a flavorful filling of spiced potatoes, peas, and occasionally lentils or minced meat. Seasoned with spices like cumin, coriander, and turmeric, samosas deliver a robust and aromatic taste. While they are rich in carbohydrates and provide a good source of energy, their deep-fried preparation contributes to a high fat content, making them less ideal for regular consumption if you’re monitoring calorie intake. Samosas offer dietary fiber from the vegetable filling, which supports digestion, and contain moderate amounts of protein when filled with meat. Reduced-fat or baked versions can make them a more health-conscious choice without compromising flavor. A samosa is often enjoyed as a street food snack or appetizer, paired with tangy chutneys for added zest.
