What is Aloo Samosa?
A samosa is a fried or baked pastry filled with savory ingredients. The word “aloo” means potato in Hindi, and Aloo Samosa refers to the most traditional version—filled with spiced potatoes and peas.

Though it originated in Central Asia and the Middle East, the samosa was embraced by Indian cuisine during the Mughal period and adapted into many regional varieties. The Punjabi-style Aloo Samosa remains the most popular across India, known for its flaky crust and bold spice profile.
