🇮🇳 India recipe
Samosa
The samosa is one of the most iconic snacks in the Indian subcontinent, with roots tracing back to Central Asian samsa brought by medieval traders. These crispy, golden triangular pastries encase a warmly spiced potato and pea filling. Every region in India has its own variation, but the classic Punjabi samosa remains the most beloved.
