Calories in Samosas

You could swap one samosa for an entire plate of food!

Samosas are yummy — crunchy and flavorsome — but they are also packed with high-kilojoule fats. One samosa has the same kilojoule value as a plate of wholesome, tasty food.

A large fried mutton samosa, 150mm x 150mm, has 3677kj.

On the other hand,

• 120g fillet steak with 1 large mushroom drizzled with olive oil and grilled
• a mixed green salad (2 cups) with
• ¼ small avo (30g) and
• 1 tablespoon of low-fat salad dressing plus
• 1 large (285g) baked sweet potato topped with
• ½ cup of fat-free smooth cottage cheese and fresh coriander
