What's in USDA's samosa
USDA's samosa is a refined-flour pastry made with butter, filled with potato and peas, and fried in vegetable oil.
Per 100 g it also has 1.8 g of fiber.
What changes the number at home
- Street-food samosas vary a lot in size. A large one can weigh more than USDA's 100 g regular samosa.
- Deep frying means the oil soaked up is a big share of the calories, and it changes with how the samosa is fried.
- Chutneys and the chole in samosa chaat are extra.
