Samosas are a popular street food snack in India, Pakistan, and other South Asian countries. They are commonly served as an appetizer during iftar in Ramadan, but they can be enjoyed anytime as a tasty snack. Samosas come in different shapes and sizes and can be stuffed with savory fillings like potatoes, meat, or vegetables. This recipe features spicy potato filling with an optional addition of pre-boiled chicken thighs, wrapped in a crispy, flaky pastry shell and deep-fried to perfection. These samosas are best served hot with a tangy dipping sauce.
