While the texture of both samosas and empanadas are more familiar to readers, the texture of this poori is very different from that of a samosa- much less buttery and flakey, more crispy and in fact very reminiscent of a fried empanada.

Um you do realize that a so called "indian empanada" would be the samosa? And logically speaking, the origins of the samosa orginate in the caucus region....and then filtered out to south asia and middle east and north africa...where the Moors introduced it to the Iberian Peninsula....from where they were spread to central and south america. So, it would be better to say South American Samosa....darn cultural culinary imperialism. Really? Um you do realize that a so called “indian empanada” would be the samosa?
