Known as samosa in many regions.
Singara is a popular snack in South Asian cuisine, particularly in countries like India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, and Nepal. It consists of a crispy, fried pastry filled with a spiced mixture, typically of potatoes, peas, onions, and sometimes meat. The pastry is usually made from a dough of flour and ghee or oil, which is then shaped into triangles or other forms before frying.
The filling can vary widely depending on regional preferences and personal tastes. Singara is often enjoyed as a street food or appetizer and is commonly served with chutneys or sauces for dipping.
The term singara is commonly used in Bengali-speaking regions of India and Bangladesh to refer to what is known as a samosa in other parts of South Asia. In these areas, singara is the local term for the same popular fried pastry filled with spiced vegetables or meat. The choice of term often reflects regional language and cultural influences.
