Samosa

Samosa (or samosa , triangular, crispy donut native to the Indian subcontinent and popular in many parts of Asia, East Africa and the Middle East. It is also part of the gastronomy of Reunion Island. It is traditionally stuffed with a mixture of vegetables, potatoes, ground meat (such as beef, chicken or lamb), spices and aromatics. The dough is then folded into a triangle shape and fried until it becomes golden and crispy.

Samosas are often served as a starter or snack, accompanied by chutney or hot sauces . In their traditional version, the dough made from wheat flour contains gluten, but, for a gluten-free version, I prepare them with rice leaves, like for spring rolls. They can be prepared using alternative flours. Samosas are popular for their crispy texture and spicy filling.
