Shingara (2 pieces) -NYC

A quintessential Bengali snack, our Shingara features a thick, short-crust pastry filled with a savory mixture of diced potatoes, peas, and roasted peanuts. Flavored with ginger and toasted cumin, the filling offers a warm, earthy taste that is uniquely different from a standard samosa.

Perfectly fried until the crust is sturdy and crisp, the Shingara is best enjoyed with a side of tangy chutney. It’s a staple of Jackson Heights tea-time culture and a must-try appetizer at Shanai. Two pieces of our signature Shingara.
