About Punjabi samosa
Punjabi Samosa is a popular snack from North Indian cuisine, celebrated for its crispy, golden-brown exterior and flavorful filling. Traditionally, the samosa is made with a dough of refined wheat flour, stuffed with a spiced mixture of mashed potatoes, peas, and aromatic seasonings like cumin, coriander, and garam masala. This triangular treat is deep-fried, giving it a flaky texture and satisfying crunch. While Punjabi samosas are rich in flavor, they are typically calorie-dense due to the frying process and use of refined flour. However, the filling offers some nutritional benefits from the vegetables and plant-based proteins present in peas. Moderation is key when enjoying this indulgent snack, and healthier alternatives—like air-fried or baked variations—can mitigate the high-fat content while maintaining the authentic taste. A favorite at celebrations or with chai, Punjabi samosas remain an iconic symbol of Indian culinary culture.
