Hello friends,

On April 21,1526,the great Mughals came to India with an array of culinary techniques. But the samosa remained popular. The 16th century Mughal document Ain-I-Akbari confirms the presence of these timeless pastries in their time. Amir Khusro(1253-1325), a scholar and the royal poet of Delhi sultanate,Wrote in around 1300CE that the princes and nobles enjoyed the samosa prepared from meat,ghee,onion and spices. Samosa travelled here all the way from Central Asia centuries ago.
