Samosa is a
stuffed, deep fried
snack
that is very popular in the Indian Subcontinent, Southeast
Asia, Central Asia and Southwest
Asia, the Arabian Peninsula, the Mediterranean,
the Horn of
Africa, North Africa and South Africa.
It generally consists of a fried or baked triangular, semi lunar or tetrahedral
pastry
shell with a savory filling, which may include spiced potatoes, onions, peas, coriander,
and lentils,
or ground lamb or chicken. The size and shape of a Samosa, as well as the
consistency of the pastry used, can vary considerably, although it is mostly
triangular. Samosas are often served with chutney
generally as an appetizer. Given the popularity of Indian cuisine, Samosa
is widely available in Indian restaurants and snack-bars in Europe, North
America, Asia and Africa .
