Samosa
Samosa is a savoury stuffed pastry popular across South Asia and in many global street-food scenes; it's typically filled with spiced potatoes, peas and sometimes meat, then fried until crisp. It is known for its flaky exterior and warm, spiced interior, often served with chutneys or yogurt-based dips. In terms of nutrition, Samosa is energy-dense and relatively high in fat, providing about 17.5g of fat per 100g; it also supplies modest protein but only small amounts of fibre and micronutrients per 100g. From a health perspective, samosas are best enjoyed occasionally: they deliver satisfying flavour and some plant-based protein from fillings, but the frying and pastry mean they are higher in total and saturated fats compared with baked or whole-grain alternatives.
