Samosa

Samosas are triangular pastries filled with spiced potatoes, peas, and sometimes meat or lentils. This appetizer is popular across South Asia and beyond. They are typically deep-fried until golden and crispy and enjoyed as a savory snack with chutneys or sauces. My grandma likes to take these to-go when traveling.
