About Chamusas
Chamusas, also known as samosas in some regions, are a beloved snack originating from Indian cuisine and widely enjoyed in Portuguese-speaking countries like Mozambique and Portugal. These triangular pastries are traditionally filled with spiced mixtures, often featuring ground meat such as beef, lamb, or chicken, combined with ingredients like onions, garlic, and a blend of aromatic spices. Vegetarian versions, filled with potatoes, peas, lentils, or spinach, are also popular. Chamusas are typically deep-fried to achieve their crisp outer shell, making them a flavorful yet calorie-dense treat. While they provide protein and occasional vegetable fiber, their high fat content from frying can be a concern. Opting for baked versions or using whole-grain pastry can make them a healthier choice. The rich flavors, portability, and versatility of chamusas make them an iconic snack enjoyed around the world.
