A few hundred years later, traders brought them to India during the 13th or 14th century where it soon became an incredibly popular food. A great example of its popularity is that World Samosa Day is celebrated every year on September 5th. It is also the day to try samosa for the first time or share one with a friend. It is especially popular in India but aside from India, people also enjoy samosas in Egypt, Libya, South Africa, and the Middle East.
