British physicians have determined that 'samosas' and 'pakoras', rather all deep-fried eatables from the orient, are dangerous and one of the causes of heart diseases and diabetes.
According to reports on the world-wide web, the health officials of cities with larger number of population and public eateries from South Asia have been visiting localities advising against these foods.
In Birmingham district, Sikh temples which offer 'halwa', 'bhaji' 'puri', 'pakoras' and, above all, 'samosas' to the devotees have been offered on-the-spot health checks for blood pressure and blood sugar. The British health workers describe 'samosas' as "one of the worst foods one can eat". It was said to contain 25 grams of fat, same as a large slab of butter.
Those who insist to have these foods are advised to switch over to olive oil instead of clarified butter (ghee).
