Best Answer

The samosa is a deep fried (or baked for a healthier homemade version) small triangular filo pastry parcel filled with spicy vegetables, or spicy meat, or both spicy meat and vegetables. It is eaten as a snack or an appetizer. See Related Questions (further down this page) for more information and see the Related Links (further down this page) for photographs or recipes.

Samosa originated in the Middle East,it was introduced to India during the Delhi Sultanate rule. The word of samosa was Hindi, a triangular pastry case containing spiced vegetables or meat and served fried. How samosa become crispy? We usually fry it,and when we fry,there are few tips. deep fry the samosas Light the fire, pour into half pot of oil, heat the oil to boiled and reduce to medium heat. Use medium heat,till the skin become yellowish

Remove from pan and drain oil,natural cooling adjust to low heat, fry the samosa again until golden.

It was later adapted as a vegetarian snack with spicy potato filling in India (which is  what is most popular in northern India).

What country does samosa come from?

The name 'samosa' is generally used in the Indian Subcontinent and South-east Asian countries. However, these snacks or appetizers are very popular in the Indian Subcontinent, Southeast Asia, Southwest Asia, Central Asia, the Horn of Africa, North Africa, South Africa, the Arabian Peninsula and the Mediterranean. They are, therefore, known accordingly by other names such as samsa, somsa, sambosak, sambusa, samoosa, singada, and samuza. For the last 20 years or so 'samosas' have also been very popular in the United Kingdom.

What you call samosa in English?

You cannot really translate samosa into English because it doesn't really have a meaning, its just a name of a food.However, people still call it samosa in England and if you go and ask someone is a shop about samosas they would probably be very likely to know what a samosa is because samosas are sold in UK and still called samosas. BASICALLY IN ENGLISH THEY STILL CALL IT A SAMOSA BECAUSE IT IS JUST A NAME OF A FOOD. hope this helps!
