HISTORY:- The samosa is claimed to have originated in the Middle East (where it is known as 'sambosa') prior to the 10th century. Abolfazi Beyhaqi (995-1077), an Iranian historian mentioned it in his history, 'Tarikh-e Beyhaghi'. It was introduced to the Indian subcontinent in the 13th or 14th century by traders from the Middle East. 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".
