Samosas! Ahh, they need no introduction, meat filled crispy fried pastry is the life of southeast Asian cooking. They are available in many variations, with beef, chicken, veggie and lentil fillings and each one has its own unique flavor. They are mostly eaten as a tea time snack but also consumed largely in Ramadan in Pakistan and India. They are easily available as a street food snack in all local bakeries and corner shops. The are accompanied with many different sauces, ketchup being the most popular but mint cilantro chutney and tamarind date chutney are also in the top running.
