Still Wondering About SlimAI
Occasionally, yes. One medium samosa at about 160 calories can fit a calorie-deficit routine as a planned snack. The risk is frequency and quantity — two large samosas with sweet chutney can approach 700 calories, which is a full meal's worth.
Sweet tamarind chutney adds roughly 40-60 calories per two-tablespoon serving because of its sugar, while green mint-coriander chutney adds only about 10-15. Choosing the green chutney is an easy saving.
Yes — skipping the deep fry typically cuts 25-30% of the calories, bringing a medium samosa from about 160 down to 110-120. The pastry absorbs a lot of oil during frying, which is where most of the difference comes from.
