Samosa

Another popular Pakistani dish is Samosas. Samosas, with their crunchy texture and variety of flavors, are an excellent introduction to the world of Indian cuisine for newcomers. These deep-fried triangular pastries are filled with a variety of vegetables and meats, including onions, lentils, spiced potatoes, peas, or ground meat.

The popular golden-brown snack is said to have made its way to India via old trade routes from Central Asia. These savory triangles are typically served hot with chopped onions, yogurt, or fresh, homemade Indian chutneys made with ingredients such as mint, coriander, or tamarind.

However, not all samosas are savory; some varieties can include a variety of sweet ingredients such as pomegranate, mango, and raisins. Sweet or savory, they can be found at numerous street stalls and roadside eateries throughout India, freshly made and traditionally paired with masala chai tea. If you intend to travel to Pakistan, this dish must be definitely tried.
