Can you imagine Indian street food without samosas? Neither can we. A staple across North India and various other parts of the country, samosa has made a place for itself in our country like nothing else. But did you know? samosas aren’t truly Indian. Surprised? Legend has it that Samosas were brought to Indian by traders from Central Asia who during their travel to the country, started cooking small, crisp meat mince-filled triangles during night halts as they were convenient to be packed for the next day’s journey. Eventually these travelers bought it to India and the majority of vegetarian population here gave it their own spin.  

This got us wondering if in the initial days, the mince-filling(which kind of mince) could be easily changed to a potato one that we know of now, can there be more experiments to the deep-fried snack? Of course, there can be. And there are many versions of it. While there are some outright bizarre fillings that people have experimented with, there are some extremely scrumptious fusion combinations in samosa too that we know of. So, move over keema and aloo, because these fillings are sure to get you hooked.  

1. Noodle Samosa  

The filling can be any kind- hakka noodles, plain noodles or even vermicelli, the flavour is sure to get the Desi-Chinese lover in you impressed. The concept might seem bizarre but this samosa can truly hold its own.  

2. Cheese Samosa
