Samsa with Loin

Cultural Context

Samsa, a beloved dish in Uzbekistan, has roots in Central Asian cuisine, often enjoyed as a street food or snack. Traditionally filled with meat and spices, these pastries reflect the region's nomadic heritage, where portable meals were essential. Today, samsa is popular not only in Uzbekistan but also in various countries across Central Asia, with each region adding its unique twist to the filling and pastry.
