A popular Indian snack, the samosa is a savory pastry filled with spiced potatoes, peas, and sometimes meat. It is typically triangular in shape and deep-fried to golden perfection. The crispy outer layer contrasts with the flavorful filling, creating a delightful culinary experience. Samosas are often enjoyed with chutney or as part of a larger meal, making them a beloved street food and a staple at festive occasions in India.
