Samsa

Samsa (also spelled somsa and samosa) is a sort of savory pastry prominent in Central Asian cuisine. Consider it the Uzbek equivalent of the Indian samosa, as well as other related variations such as the Lebanese sambousek and the Moroccan briouat.

Unlike deep-fried samosas in India, samsas in Uzbekistan and Central Asia are typically baked in an oven. They are often triangle-shaped and stuffed with a mixture of ground meat (generally lamb, beef, or chicken), tail fat, and spices. The most frequent type is meat samsa, although you can also find potato, pumpkin, or onion samsa.

This flaky pastry is a traditional morning meal in Uzbekistan, soft and crispy on the outside but juicy on the inside. It's traditionally consumed with tea in the morning or as a hot street food snack. If you intend to travel to this wonderful country, Manti is one of the must-try dishes for you.
