In Pakistan, the samosa became a popular and affordable street food, often enjoyed with a cup of tea. Traditional Pakistani samosas are usu ally filled with spiced potatoes, onions, peas, lentils, and sometimes also include minced meat (lamb, beef, or chicken). They're typically served with a tangy tamarind chutney or spicy mint chutney.
