Stuffed Fried Pastries

Sambosas are stuffed, deep-fried pastries, popular in Afghanistan and across the subcontinent. When my parents lived in Kabul, Indian street-food vendors (who had been in Afghanistan for many generations since Mughal rule) were renowned for making the best sambosas. They are usually served with chutney sabz, chutney morcheh sorkh or jaan-e-ama yoghurt dip.
