🇧🇩 Bangladesh recipe
Shingara
Shingara is Bangladesh's answer to the samosa, though with its own distinct character. These crispy, golden pastry parcels are typically filled with spiced potatoes, peas, and roasted peanuts, wrapped in a thinner, flakier dough than their Indian counterparts. Shingara is the quintessential Bangladeshi teatime snack, found at every bakery, tea stall, and street corner, best enjoyed piping hot with a cup of strong tea.
