It's Hindi. There are a lot of Indian truck drivers on I-44 so the truck stops frequently have small Indian restaurants or food counters for travelers, (called Dhabas). There's a place in Joplin that has zero chicken samosas. Ever. There's just an empty bin and a nice lady who says 'I'm all out, would you like vegetarian?' Every single damn time. I'm starting to question the existence of the chicken ones at all.

Veg are better anyways. Safer from a food prep standpoint.

Yeah, and probably healthier overall. And they're a decent snack. Still, I wonder what the chicken ones would taste like... if they exist.

Probably like the veg ones but with a little chicken :) samosas are strong flavors when done correctly. The chicken in my opinion doesn't change the flavor much

Depends. I've had some that definitely were very chicken tasting. Wal Mart actually sells a frozen variety that I like with that most western of flavors, tikka masala. The vegetable samosas at that place are okay, but just okay. Nothing like what you'd find in a sit down restaurant, but on par with what you'd expect at a convenience store. More just convenience food. I like them but they definitely require a sauce on the side. Too much potato and not enough of anything else.
