Samosa- Incredible, awesome and edible !!!
Samosa (sa-mo-saa) - for the unaware, it is an Indian snack made of flour filled with fried potatoes inside. Spice can be added to potato to taste though spicy might be the best suited for it. The outside is basically a fried crust.
Samosa is a great replication of two totally disparate sides, choices, tastes and feelings. It is hard to find such things in this world which can be so different in composition yet be part of the same entity. On one hand where the inside is spicy for people with tolerant taste buds, the outside is plain and totally spice-less for the toned tongues. The outside strong crust gives the hard feel to it while the softness inside makes it relishing. It is made such that as soon as you break into the hardness , you are greeted with the nice aroma from the inside and the whole samosa breaks into parts. The pyramid shape itself generates a mystic feel to it and makes it stand out on a platter.
According to "www.Samosa-connection .com", the Samosa basically originated in Central Asia and then travelled to India. It also qoutes "The Oxford companion to Food" that Indian Samosa is probably the best of its Central Asian siblings (pastries and dumplings filled with variety of things) . Some of its other versions prevelant are Sanbusak & Samsa.
