About Samoussa
Samoussa, a popular dish with roots in Indian and Middle Eastern cuisine, is a triangular pastry traditionally filled with spiced ingredients such as potatoes, peas, lentils, minced meat, or vegetables. Wrapped in a thin pastry shell, it is typically fried until golden and crispy, though baked options are growing in popularity for those seeking a healthier alternative. Rich in flavor and texture, samoussas often feature aromatic spices like cumin, coriander, and turmeric, adding depth and potential health benefits due to their anti-inflammatory properties. While nutrient-rich fillings such as vegetables and legumes offer fiber and vitamins, samoussas can be high in calories and unhealthy fats, especially when fried. Opting for baking or using whole-grain pastry can improve their nutritional profile. As a versatile snack or appetizer, they are enjoyed globally and can fit into a balanced diet when prepared thoughtfully.
