Punjabi Aloo Samosa is a popular snack from Punjabi cuisine, originating in the northern region of India. This savory treat consists of a crispy, golden-brown pastry stuffed with a spiced potato filling. The stuffing typically includes boiled mashed potatoes, green peas, and a blend of traditional Indian spices such as cumin, coriander, turmeric, and garam masala, creating a flavorful and aromatic experience. While samosas are deep-fried, giving them their signature crunch, this method of preparation increases their calorie and fat content. However, the inclusion of potatoes and peas provides a source of carbohydrates, dietary fiber, and essential vitamins such as vitamin C. Many enjoy samosas as a comfort food or appetizer, though moderation is key due to their fried nature. For a healthier alternative, samosas can be baked instead of fried, reducing the overall fat content while retaining their beloved flavors.
