Samosa

Fried pastry filled with spiced potato and peas — a crisp, thick-shelled triangular pastry with a filling of mashed boiled potato, green peas, dried mango powder, garam masala, raisins, and whole coriander seeds. Deep-fried until shatteringly crisp and golden, eaten hot with hari chutney and imli chutney. The Delhi samosa is larger and drier in filling than Lucknow's minced-meat versions. Found at every street corner, railway station, and tea stall across North India.
