Indian samosa
Indian samosa is a popular savory snack that originated in India. It is a triangular-shaped pastry filled with a delicious mixture of spiced potatoes, peas, and sometimes meat or lentils. The pastry is typically deep-fried until crispy and golden brown. Samosas are often served with chutney or sauces and are enjoyed as a tasty appetizer or snack in Indian cuisine.
