About

A samosa is a popular Indian and Middle Eastern snack made of a savory filling wrapped in a fried or baked pastry dough. The filling is usually a mixture of potatoes, onions, peas, and spices, although other ingredients such as lentils, ground lamb, or chicken may also be used. Samosas are often served with chutney or other dipping sauces.
