The samosa (or samosa ) is a small, crispy, triangular pastry originating from the Indian subcontinent and popular in many parts of Asia, East Africa, and the Middle East. It is also part of the cuisine of Réunion Island. It is traditionally filled with a mixture of vegetables, potatoes, minced meat (such as beef, chicken, or lamb), spices, and herbs. The dough is then folded into a triangle shape and deep-fried until golden brown and crispy.
Samosas an appetizer or snack, accompanied by chutney or hot sauces. In their traditional form, the wheat flour-based dough contains gluten, but for a gluten-free version, I prepare them with rice paper, like spring rolls. They can also be made using alternative flours. Samosas are appreciated for their crispy texture and spicy filling.
