1. Soya Keema Samosa

The culinary experiments of street vendors consistently leave an impression on people. The divine-tasting keema samosa is one such instance.

3. Cauliflower Samosa

Potato and Cauliflower samosa is popular all over Bengal and is readily available in the sweet shops during winter. When cauliflower is mixed in the filling along with potatoes and spices it becomes more flavourful and the taste increases automatically. These samosas are irresistible—crisp, golden, and loaded with the best filling ever. 

4. Chocolate Samosa

This dessert is extremely rich. Warm and melted chocolate ganache filling encased in a crispy pastry shell. Delicious! Fried chocolate ganache transforms into rich, sweet chocolate lava and is shockingly simple to make. People will adore the pastry's cinnamon sugar, which gives it sweetness and texture. To create the ideal chocolate dessert, try experimenting with different kinds of chocolate for the filling.

The stuffing as butter chicken is pure genius. It's flavorful, creamy, and accurately spiced. To put it briefly, it tastes wildly good! For the next gathering, these lip-smackin samosas will be devoured more quickly than any other dish.

9. Egg Samosa

An egg salad-like filling is used in the egg samosas. The intriguing Indian twist to this rich and creamy dish is the hard-boiled eggs combined with classic Indian flavours.

That's the perfect snack to beat the mid-afternoon slump.

10. Sambousak

The look of these Sambousak differs slightly from that of regular samosas. However, that doesn't lessen how delectable they are.
