History of SAMOSA

Hello everyone, Today I am going to tell you about the History of SAMOSA.
  
   

What is Samosa?
A samosa is a fried or baked pastry with a savory filling, including ingredients such as spiced potatoes, onions, peas, chicken and/or other meats. It may take different forms, including triangular, cone, or half-moon shapes, depending on the region.

History of SAMOSA

Some of the earliest mentions of what we know of today as the samosa can be found in Persian writings dating back to the 9th century. Scripts from throughout the Arab world between the 10th and 13th century also make mention of it, though the recipe is always similar: oil, butter, salt, dough, and warm water. A simple dish known by many names in many regions.

It was in the 1300s that our samosa first makes a historical appearance on Indian soil. Traded through Central Asian peddlers and vendors across the Muslim world, it eventually found its way to the subcontinent under the name samsa, named for its pyramidal shape after the pyramids of Central Asia. These would likely have been recognizable as samosas even today, containing meat, ghee, and onion.

From India, the samosa diffused itself across many cultures and made its way to North and East Africa, as well as wandering to the Mediterranean and into Southeast Asia and even Polynesia. As the centuries passed, the recipe changed, and every region added its own flair to the traditionally simple pastry. In turn, these variants also made their way back to India, where the samosa had already been transformed from region to region.

All this influx, outflux, internal transformation, and reinvention is what has led to the incredibly diverse but ever-popular samosa we all know and love today.

Samosa chaat                        Another popular dish is samosa chaat, a legendary snack, which is arguably the most popular street food in India. In this dish, the samosa is broken into bite-sized pieces and served up with masala, chutney, a variety of spices, and plenty of other trimmings, depending on the chef. This is another one that can be made at home, and with so many spices and sauces to try, the range for experimentation is great! Did we tell you that this is a special favorite with kids!

Thanks 😇
