Samosa actually came to India from Iran and Middle East i.e. Middle East countries. There it was called Sambusak or Sambusaj. This name became a samosa in India over time. The oldest mention of Samosa is mentioned by the 11th century famous Iranian historian Abul Fazal Behaki in his book Date-e-Bahki. He wrote that a salty dish was introduced in the royal court of the Ghaznavi Empire, in which mince (meat) and dry fruits were filled. The samosa was then not fried, but was baked on the fire. Its test was royal and it was made for special people.

What was filled before potato in samosas?

Between the 13th and 14th centuries, when traders from Central Asia and Muslim ruler came to India, Samosa had also stepped into India. Writers like Amir Khusro and Ibn Batuta have also mentioned samosas in their articles. Ibn Batuta told that Samosa was a famous snack in the court of Mohammed bin Tughlaq. Gradually, this dish spread to different parts of India, and people started making changes in it in their own way.

Actually, potato was not from India, Portuguese brought it to India in the 16th century. Earlier, meat, nuts or vegetables were filled in samosas.
