Chittaranjan Park Market
Where: Chittaranjan Park, Delhi-19
It’s not a samosa, it’s a singhada. Yes, that’s the name this dish goes by in major parts of Eastern India. This rendition has some extra members inside the u=outer layer like chickpeas and peanuts. The singhada is clearly plenty different from the regular samosa with one similarity. It’s delicious.

Munni Lal Halwai
Where: Gole Market, Delhi-03
If the normal samosa is large, the one at Munni Lal is Extra Large with some extra space (probably to give the masala inside some breathing space). The snack is served with a generous topping of chhole and chutney, which is best washed down with some tea.
