Samosa

A samosa is a fried Indian subcontinent turnover with a savory filling that most often consists of vegetables such as spiced potatoes, onions and peas, though it can include cheese such as paneer, meat or fish, its name deriving from the Middle Persian word sambosag, meaning triangular pastry. It is made in different shapes depending on the region, including a triangle, cone or crescent, often accompanied by chutney, and has origins in the Middle Ages or earlier; sweet versions with traditional Indian flavors or even chocolate are also made, and samosas remain popular snacks across South Asia and within the Indian diaspora.
