Samosa is a triangular fried pastry filled with spiced potato, peas or meat and fried until golden. The outer shell is crisp while the filling inside is soft and fragrant, since cumin, coriander and ginger go into it. The most common version is vegetable, but a meat version exists too. In Baku samosa often comes with a mint or tamarind sauce. A good samosa is not greasy and is served hot. A single piece usually costs from 2 ₼ to 5 ₼, which makes it a good light starter or snack. Two or three pieces make a filling portion.
