What it is
These are savory fried pastries filled with a spiced mixture of potatoes and peas.

They are a popular snack or appetizer in Indian cuisine, known for their satisfying texture and flavorful interior.

To prepare, these samosas are best heated in an oven or an air fryer to achieve a crispy exterior. You can also pan-fry them for a quick option. They are traditionally served warm, often accompanied by a variety of chutneys, such as mint, tamarind, or mango. The filling should be hot throughout. Avoid microwaving, as this can make the pastry soggy.
