A samosa is a fried pastry filled with a savory ingredient such as lentils, peas, onions, spiced potatoes, or ground lamb.
Samosas are triangle-shaped and about the size of a human hand. Samosas originate from India and are found on menus of most Indian restaurants in the USA.
Samosas from the East have grown in popularity hand-in-hand with the growing popularity of pierogies (Polish potato-pastries) from the West. As people have personalized pierogies and have come up with new ways ot making them or new fillings to put in them, so too have people come up with new ways of making or filling samosas.
The growing popularity of vegetarianism in modern times of organic living consciousness has brought newfound appreciation for Eastern cultures which hugely celebrate such thinking. Home cooks in the USA are taking Eastern samosa-making recipes from the Internet and personalizing or spicing them up with vegetarianism-oriented variations.
Since spinach is a popular vegetable-based dish served in the USA, and the beloved American cartoon icon Popeye is famously known for becoming super-strong by eating healthy spinach, samosas filled with spinach is a delightful variation on the traditionally Eastern appetizer.
You can opt to fry the samosa lighter and filling it with steamed or lightly-oiled (or buttered) spinach could make your vegetarian evening both exotic and nutritious.
