Definition of samosa
1 sense · 1 part of speech · etymology included
noun
-
A South Asian snack consisting of a deep-fried triangular turnover filled with vegetables (especially potatoes) or meat.
“Homemade samosas are a world away from those dry cardboard triangles sold under the name in supermarkets. Instead, they have delicately flaky and deliciously rich pastry and a generous stuffing that’s easily tweaked to suit all tastes. […] Repeat with the remaining dough balls and filling, making sure each samosa is well sealed.”
