Samosas can be served as an appetizer or afternoon snack for guests. They are deep fried so when you feel like treating yourself take some out of the freezer and fry for yourself. They were traditionally eaten with chutney in South Asia but now they are often served with Tomato ketchup. The latter is needed to offset the spiciness of the Samosas. Samosas can be stuffed with a variety of fillings from, potatoes, mixed vegetables, ground beef or mutton or even chicken.
