New Delhi July 25:  One of the most popular Indian appetizers and your best friend in the rainy season, Samosas, have come a long way. Its size and consistency may differ, but this scrumptious stuffed triangle has been a constant on your plate.

The golden beauties originated in the Middle East where it is known as 'Sambosa' and were introduced to India in the 13th and 14th century by traders from Central Asia.

From 'samosa pav' in Mumbai to 'samosa chaat' in Delhi, this delicacy is loved by one and all. However, the snack has evolved over time. Gone are the days when the 'samosa' used to ride solo with just one stuffing- potato. Here are a few fusion 'samosas' that one ought to try:
