A samosa is a popular snack originating from the Indian subcontinent. It is a deep-fried or baked pastry filled with a mixture of spiced potatoes, peas, and sometimes meat. The outer layer is typically made from flour, which is rolled out and shaped into a triangle before being filled and sealed. Samosas are often served with various dipping sauces, such as mint chutney or tamarind sauce. They are enjoyed in many countries, including India, Pakistan, and Nepal, and have become a favorite street food around the world. Samosas are known for their crispy texture and flavorful filling.
