It is got many names sambusa or samoosa. Arabic it is known as sambusa, Burmese know it as Samosha and Iranians as sanbuse. Some places it is served with tamarind chutney and fresh green chutney and in some areas, samosa chaat is enjoyed which also has some chopped onions, sev, whipped curd along with tamarind chutney and green chutney. And in some parts ( mostly north ) it is served with Choley and served as Choley samosa which makes it a substantial meal. Also, if you go to coffee shops and movie theatre the samosa is served with tomato ketchup too...
