Why And How Baked Samosa Is Healthy?
  1. Included Fresh Vegetables: Adding more vegetables such as carrots, cucumbers, and peas to increase the nutritional level. The addition of vegetables like peas, potatoes, etc. to your diet through samosa will add even more benefits to your body, such as Vitamin A for your eyes and more fiber to improve your digestive system.  
  2. Air Fried/Baked: Through the frying process, all oil gets absorbed and adds fat and calories. Therefore, always avoid frying the samosa and bake it instead.
    Make sure you dip it in homemade mint chutney for even better health benefits and flavor.
