Samosa

A triangular deep-fried snack, made at home or as street food. Samosas consist of thin unleavened bread dough wrapped around a filling of vegetable or meat. They are related to the somsa of Central Asia and are associated with Moghul cuisine. In Bengal, they are known as shingara if they are vegetarian, samosa if the filling is meat.
