How to make Samosas


Pakistani Samosas

A samosa is a common snack in South Asia, in countries such as India, Pakistan and Nepal as well as Bangladesh. It generally consists of a fried triangular- or tetrahedron-shaped pastry shell with a savory (khusbo dar pati) potato, onion, fresh coriander (dhanya), Paneer and pea (matar) stuffing, but other stuffings like minced meat and fish are often used but not traditional. The size and shape of a samosa, as well as the consistency of the pastry used, can vary considerably although it is mostly triangular. It can be spicy and is often eaten with chutney, such as mint, coriander (dhanya) or tamarind (imli). It is often savored with tea or coffee. It can also be prepared as a sweet form, rather than as a savory one. In Pakistan samosas come in various sizes and with various stuffings, and are often accompanied by various kinds of chutneys, such as mango chutney and mint (podina) chutney.
