Samosa
Limit your serving size. Portion control matters here.
Samosas are triangular pastry pockets filled with spiced potatoes, peas, and occasionally meat or lentils. The outer shell relies on wheat flour or refined wheat starch, delivering moderate fructan loads per piece. Fillings often include cumin seeds, coriander, ginger, and sautéed onions for traditional flavor. Deep frying does not reduce carbohydrate content, leaving FODMAPs fully intact in the final product.

sticky_note_2 Clinical Notes
Using a rice-flour based shell removes wheat concerns while maintaining crisp texture effectively. Requesting potato-heavy fillings with minimal peas reduces combined GOS and fructan exposure. Limiting intake to a single small samosa alongside fresh vegetables helps manage intake. Homemade samosas with certified flour blends offer reliable portion control.
