I'm terribly sorry your majesty, but Samosa reminds me of an Arabic food called sambosak which I love. You do realize that people in that region were so busy invading each other so much throughout history, you'll find many commonalities in the food, culture, and language?
You see, you arrogant fool, Samosa is actually a Persian / Arabic food:
Samosa - Wikipedia the free encyclopedia
The word "samosa" can be traced to the Persian: سنبوساگ sanbosag.[6] The pastry name in other countries also derives from this root, such as the crescent-shaped sanbusak or sanbusaj in Arab countries, sambosa in Afghanistan, samosa in India, samboosa in Tajikistan, samsa by Turkic-speaking nations, sambusa in parts of Iran, and chamuça in Goa, Mozambique and Portugal.[citation needed] While they are currently referred to as sambusak in the Arabic-speaking world, Medieval Arabic recipe books sometimes spell it sambusaj.[7]
History
Preparation of wada for the Sultan Ghiyath al-Din, the Sultan of Mandu. Samosas being prepared. Small inscription 'sanbusa', samosa. Ghiyath Shahi seated on a stool in a garden is being offered a dish, possibly of samosas. A cook is frying them over a stove, while another is placing them on a round dish.
The samosa is claimed to have originated in the Middle East (where it is known as sambosa[8]) prior to the 10th century.[9] Abolfazl Beyhaqi (995-1077), an Iranian historian mentioned it in his history, Tarikh-e Beyhaghi.[10] It was introduced to the Indian subcontinent in the 13th or 14th century by traders from Central Asia.[6]
Amir Khusro (1253–1325), a scholar and the royal poet of the Delhi Sultanate, wrote in around 1300 that the princes and nobles enjoyed the "samosa prepared from meat, ghee, onion and so on".[11][12]
Ibn Battuta, the 14th-century traveler and explorer, describes a meal at the court of Muhammad bin Tughluq, where the samushak or sambusak, a small pie stuffed with minced meat, almonds, pistachio, walnuts and spices, was served before the third course, of pulao.[12][13]
The Ain-i-Akbari, a 16th-century Mughal document, mentions the recipe for qutab, which it says, “the people of Hindustan call sanbúsah”.[14]
I may accept Wikipedia on Samosa because it is not controversial enough
Been eating Arabic sambosak since I was a kid. The Arabic actually tastes better I think and is spicier. Indians for some reason **** it up. The green lamb khorma dish is also a knock off of a Persian dish called ghormeh sabzi. But on that one I like the Indian one a little better.
Ghormeh sabzi - Wikipedia the free encyclopedia
Ghormeh sabzi (Persian: قورمهسبزی) (Azerbaijani: Səbzi qovurma) is an Iranianherbstew. It is a very popular dish in Iran and is often said to be the Iraniannational dish. The history of Ghormeh sabzi goes back at least 500 to 1,000 years.
Even Jewish people (at least Indian Jews) have a similar dish. I cannot remember what they call it.
Anyway, as soon as you start calling it Samosa, it becomes Indian.
Yes. In Arabic it's called sambosak and believe it or not the Persians don't even have such a thing.
If you want my take on it, I think the origin is perhaps Jewish.

Indian Jews are mostly Jews who fled Arab countries, they are originally Mizrahi or so called "Arab Jews". There was a large number of Arab Jews who migrated to the Far East during the Arab Muslim ethnic cleansing of Jews. Indians especially were very tolerant and open to these Jews, mostly because their religion wasn't a derivative of Judaism and therefore the usual conflicts didn't exist, so these Indian Jews lived a virtually persecution free life there. Despite this, due to the past poverty and economy in India, many of them still ended up migrating to Israel and Western countries.
But what am I saying? I forgot that I hate Indians.

Don't try to sweet talk me. I know you hate Indians
Greek / Lebanese restaurant cabarets are funny. There's always this ugly belly dancer that has no idea how to belly dance that comes up to people's tables and embarasses them.

My favorite belly dancers were Iranians and Syrians in Los Angeles. I have never seen an Israeli belly dancer in my entire life. I do not even know if they exist. I will find out when I visit Israel.
