Many believe the Samosa originated from Central Asia before the 10th century and made it’s way to India via the ancient trade routes.
The Indian Samosa is the most famous from a family of filled pastries or dumplings which were popular from North Africa to West China.
Ancient Arab cookery books refer to the Samosa as Sanbusak and this pronunciation is still used in Egypt, Syria and Lebanon.
Today, the ease of travel and the cosmopolitan nature of our cities has made the Samosa a popular snack in many parts of the world.
