Tandoori Samosa

Cultural Context

Originating from the Indian subcontinent, samosas are a beloved street food, often enjoyed as snacks or appetizers during festivals and gatherings. Traditionally filled with spiced potatoes and peas, they are deep-fried to crispy perfection. The tandoori version adds a smoky flavor by cooking in a tandoor, a clay oven, giving them a unique twist. Today, samosas are popular worldwide, with variations adapting to local tastes and ingredients.
