Uzbek somsa
Uzbek somsa is a queen of Uzbek cuisine. No wonder Jami sings of samsa in his rubai.
Uzbek samsa is a hearty baked dish of Uzbek cuisine for holidays and everyday life, with various fillings to suit all tastes.
Do not confuse samsa and patty with meat. They are completely different things. While the relative similarity of ingredients they like each other less than pilaf and rice porridge.
History and origin of Uzbek samsa:The etymology of the word samsa is not completely clear. Perhaps this word is of Iranian origin. The Tajik sanbusa or sambusa, the Persian sambuse or sanbuse is translated as "patty cake", and goes back perhaps to the Persian sombole meaning "ear, spire ". Thus, the etymology of the word goes back to the term that refers to raw material (flour, dough), from which this dish was made. In that way, samsa, having emerged in the Iranian media, was developed in the environment of the Central Asian Turks.
It is not known exactly when this dish was appeared on the feasts, but mentions of miracle samsa were found during the reign of Gilgamesh - the ruler of Sumer, who lived nearly five thousand years ago. And Uzbek samsa recipe did not change.

Uzbek samsa recipes greatly enriched after the conquest of the territory of Central Asia by Russian Empire (1865-1917 years). For example, earlier in Central Asia flour of extra quality was not used, and only then it was delivered to the European population from Russia, as well as potatoes and cabbage. Nevertheless Uzbek samosa remains the unsurpassed dish of Uzbek cuisine.
Today samsa is made with meat (lamb, chicken, beef) with vegetables (pumpkin, potatoes, onions), as well as with mushrooms, eggs, peas, greens and even sweet fillings. The final wizard taste of Uzbek samsa are spices that enrich the taste of the filling. They are zira, black and red pepper and sesame seeds.
