The Origins of Punjabi Samosas:
Punjabi samosas have a long and storied history that begins in the kitchens of ancient Persia. The original name for these savoury pastries was “sambusak,” and they were baked after being stuffed with veggies, and spices. The original sambusaks were transported to the Indian subcontinent via the development of trade networks. There, they were transformed into the mouth-watering Punjabi samosas that are loved by everyone today.
Cultural Significance:
The cultural and gastronomic significance of samosas in Punjab is immense. Traditional samosas are relished as a snack with tea or offered during festivals and celebrations, and they represent hospitality and unity. These dishes, made with care by women in Punjabi households using recipes that have been handed down through many generations, capture the essence of Punjabi hospitality and culture.
