Why do samosas taste so good? Well, that is a good question. In my opinion, it tastes good because of all the unique spices that go into it. 😊

I love the smell and the savory flavor of samosa. ❤️

To cook a samosa, you need to heat oil in a heavy bottom wok or deep-frying pan. The oil should be at a medium temperature to prevent burning.

Once the oil is hot enough, place the samosas in the pan. Fry them until they are light brown on the bottom.
When done, place them on a kitchen towel to absorb the excess oil.

You can also cook samosas in the oven or air fryer. Samosas come in many different shapes. Some are cylindrical, while others are triangular. The shape of a samosa can vary from region to region.

The word samosa comes from the Persian word sanbosag, which means “flour-filled pyramid.”
