Writer Ellen Jenne put some supermarket samosas to the test, but they fell massively short of what you'd find at an Indian restaurant
Samosas are the pinnacle of comfort food in snack form, perfectly paired with an aromatic Indian takeaway. But can your local supermarket offer up a better and cheaper alternative to visiting your local Indian? The snack should have a crispy and crunchy shell on the outside, encasing fragrant spices and a generous amount - and variety - of vegetables, reports MyLondon . I put to the test a small selection of supermarket offerings; with some shops not even selling them as individual items.
Total - 3/5 From first touch, Tesco ’s samosa almost broke away in my hand - in a good way. Its top layer flaked away but underneath was rendered limp and lifeless. It reminded me of a squidgy pillow, not helped by the mushy potato-veg combo mix stuffed inside. I couldn’t quite figure out where the soft pastry ended and the filling started. There wasn’t enough of a contrast between the textures, making it for an underwhelming and slightly off-putting mouthful.
