And that is because their samosas are 0 in cholesterol and less spicy as well.... Hygienically produced they are a hit and always a line up present.
The other 3 good samosa places that I have found are :
India s Taste .. 33c
A One samosas ... Tranmere Drive ( Dixie Derry ) 50c .
Sweet India Malton ... 40c each
However for parties , Samosa & Sweet Factory ones are a hit as they are medium sized and very reasonably priced ( 20c)

One regular samosa can be about 300 to 400 calories each depending on the size, about 50% of it coming from fat. It is the Indian junk food. They are calling it healthy, trans fat free, 0 cholesterol, etc., just for marketing.

They are BAKED not DEEP fried , so calorie wise and cholesterol wise they are NOT that bad.
Most of it comes from cheap vegetable oil which they use for frying at other places.
These guys are not bad if they are baking them and not frying them.

You are confusing calories with cholesterol . The same calories taken in different cooking medium are different.

Nope - the samosa of Samosa and Sweet Factory are deep fried and not baked. I have seen their plant. They have a long deep fryer with a chain link conveyor belt. You may find less oil in their samasa because they keep very high temp of the fryer and samosa stay shorter time in oil.

I am not confusing cholesterol with calories. There is a link. Cholesterol is primarily made by the liver and there are three primary components to it LDL, HDL and triglycerides. You do not have to eat a high cholesterol diet to have a bad LDL number, for example, it can be caused by overeating, diet high in sugar and refined flour, etc.
Anyways enjoy your samosas once in a while but do not start promoting it like it is some sort of health food!

You got better understanding now -- that you have left calories out of the discussion.
Remember one thing and confirm with your doctor - better oils / medium have less bad cholesterol & high good cholesterol.
Try eating your food cooked in Dalda / Ghee on one hand and Canola on the other ....same food , same amount of calories - one is way healthier than the other .
Calories being a constant , one cooking medium is healthier than the other !!
That is what we are trying to say .... samosa being promoted as health food ... is your imagination and not mentioned by any of the posters.
