Know the history of Samosa
Samosa was brought to India long ago from thousands of miles away from Iran. Actually, a similar dish is also made in Iran. Its name in Persian was ‘Sambushk’, which came here and became Samosa. This famous dish is also called ‘Singhada’ in Bihar and Bengal. Actually it looks like water chestnut growing in water. At the same time, some people also believe that samosa originated in North India only and later it became popular in the whole of India, Pakistan and neighboring countries including Bangladesh. If Patna’s well-known teacher and historian Guru Rahman is to be believed, the mention of samosas is also found in an article by Abul Fal Behaqi, a historian of 11th century, who had mentioned such salty thing in the court of Ghaznavi. However, it was filled with keema and mawa. While potatoes are mainly used in samosas.
