Samosa
Crispy pastries with a spiced potato filling
The samosa travelled to India via Persian and Central Asian trade routes, where it became the subcontinent's most beloved snack. The vegetarian potato-and-pea filling is the most classic.
Crisp-fried and served with tamarind or mint chutney, samosas are street snack and festive bite at once. Fully plant-based.
