A samosa is a popular deep-fried snack enjoyed across India and many other parts of the world. It is typically a triangular pastry made with refined flour (maida) and filled with a savory stuffing, most commonly spiced potatoes, peas, and sometimes lentils or meat. Crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, samosas are loved for their crunchy texture and flavorful filling. They are often served with chutneys like mint, tamarind, or tomato sauce and are a favorite snack during tea time, festivals, and street food culture.
