Extra Credit Assignment

India is the second largest population in the world, The country is so


famous for various types of foods, There are so many street foods in
every city, people are crazy about foods, they visit various places only to
taste delicious foods. The food that I want to talk about here is called
“Samosa”. It is such a tasty and nice food , normally it is not taken as
lunch or dinner instead as a refreshment, in college restaurants or in the
breakfast this food is prefered so much, It does include a small amount
of potatoes inside it, There is a specific powder used to make this food
and then that powder is mixed with small amount of potatoes and friend
in the oil. The Persian historian Abul-Fazl Beyhaqi first mentions the
samosa in 11th-century literature.He portrays a modest delicacy, filled in
as a nibble in the extraordinary courts of the strong Ghaznavid realm. It
was brought to India via the same route that the Aryans had taken more
than 2,000 years before: through Central Asia, over the great mountains
in Afghanistan, and finally into the fertile plains of India's great rivers.
Spiced potatoes, onions, peas, lentils, and minced meat (from lamb,
beef, or chicken) can all be included in a samosa.
When it comes to the values that this food reveal I do think about two
things here the first is India is a really poor country where most of the
people can not afford expensive foods like a pizza or burger may be
which are not so expensive but a poor can not eat regularly so samosa
just cost is such that a one time pocket money of a school student can
buy 2 3 easily everyday, Morever indian people work so much on
streets or roads so this food actually is prepared on road sides so much
this is another reason why this food is so popular , besides the people in
India are really good hosts and a samosa is something one can eat at any
time so normally when people visit their houses they always have this
great food available to greet people.
