samosa

A samosa () is a fried or baked dish with a savoury filling, such as spiced potatoes, onions, peas, meat, or lentils. It may take different forms, including triangular, cone, or half-moon shapes, depending on the region. The Indian style, often accompanied by a chutney, is probably the most widely-known of a broad family of recipes from Africa to China, which have origins in medieval times or earlier. Samosas are a popular entrée, appetizer, or snack in the local cuisines of the Indian subcontinent, Western Asia, Southeast Asia, the Mediterranean, and Africa. Due to emigration and cultural diffusion from these areas, samosas in today's world are also prepared in other regions.

    Recipe Samosa Omelette

    I started out with the idea of making @Francesca's Spanish Potato Omelette, and then things went off the rails a bit. How about some onion? Okay. What about some garlic? Of course. I found myself steering down a path from Spain to India, and - with potatoes at the core - it only made sense to...
