Description

Samosas are the perfect food format, allowing for endless experimentation. They were first developed somewhere in Central Asia, presumably in the 10th century. Even then, a samosa was a small fried or baked pastry filled with juicy, mostly vegetable-based filling. Today, it is an important and delicious Indian snack that can be enjoyed at a café, taken on a stroll, or made at home. Homemade samosas are easy to prepare, especially since we have a good and clear recipe.
