Origin of Samosa:
As samosa is very popular snack of Pakistan, you must be thinking the whereabouts of samosa.
By the early 14th Century, it was not only a part of Indian cuisine but also food fit for a king.
Amir Khusro, prolific poet of Delhi royalty, observed in 1300 that the royal set seemed partial to
the "samosa prepared from meat, ghee, onion and so on". In 1334, the renowned traveler Ibn
Battuta wrote about the sambusak: "minced meat cooked with almonds, pistachios, onions and
spices placed inside a thin envelop of wheat and deep-fried in ghee". And the samosa obtained
a royal stamp with its inclusion in the Ain-i-Akbari which declared that among dishes cooked
with wheat there is the qutab, "which the people of Hind called the sanbusa". They were very
small in size and that’s the reason they were used as a snack by travelers who could easily pack
them in saddle bags and eat on the go.
