It's best to savor samoosas in moderation. The recommended limit is 3 pieces per day. This ensures you enjoy them without tipping the scales on unhealthy fat consumption, keeping both mother and baby happy. Moderation is key. While fried foods like samoosas can be enjoyed occasionally, frequent consumption can lead to unnecessary weight gain and elevated cholesterol levels, impacting pregnancy health. Consider baking samoosas instead of frying, or opt for vegetable fillings. You can also explore dumplings or spring rolls with healthier fillings as tasty substitutes.Recommended Limit
