What is a Samosa?!
Answers: I would like to know how many non-indian people know the answer to this..
A samosa is a common snack in South Asia, in countries such as India, Pakistan and Nepal as well as Bangladesh. It is believed that it originated in Central Asia prior to the 10th century.
It generally consists of a fried triangular- or tetrahedron-shaped pastry shell with a savory potato, onion, fresh coriander, cottage cheese known as Paneer and pea stuffing, but other stuffings like minced meat and fish are often used but not traditional. The size and shape of a samosa, as well as the consistency of the pastry used, can vary considerably although it is mostly triangular. It can be spicy and is often eaten with chutney, such as mint, coriander or tamarind. It is often savored with tea or coffee. It can also be prepared as a sweet form, rather than as a savory one. In Pakistan samosas come in various sizes and with various stuffings, and are often accompanied by various kinds of chutneys, such as mango chutney and mint chutney. In the city of Hyderabad, India, a smaller version of the samosa with a thicker pastry crust and mince filled center is called a Luqmi.
Samosa is a potato stuffed pastry.
There's several websites that have recipes for them. Here's one I found that looked pretty good and it's off of an Indian website!!
