Cape Malay samoosas
If you grew up in Cape Town, samoosas are probably tied to specific memories — Friday nights, family gatherings, the smell of spiced mince frying in the kitchen. They’re small triangular parcels of pastry filled with curried beef or vegetables, fried until golden and crispy, and eaten straight out of the fryer if you can handle the heat.
