Samosa

The iconic triangular deep-fried pastry stuffed with spiced potatoes, peas, and sometimes meat, the samosa is arguably India's most popular snack and street food. The crispy outer shell shatters to reveal a fluffy, cumin-and-coriander-spiced potato filling that is deeply satisfying. Samosas are served everywhere from roadside stalls to five-star hotels, typically with green mint chutney and sweet tamarind chutney.
