Yeah, it's not originally Indian. Similar dishes called 'Sambusa' or 'Sambosa' are found in other Middle Eastern & African cuisines, e.g. Ethiopian. The dish was brought to India by foreign traders around 14th or 15 century.

Also the filling, potatoes, is another new-world vegetable (along with tomatoes) from Americas that were introduced to India only within the last few centuries by foreign traders.

Even the word 'Samosa' comes from Persian 'Sambosag'. Read more about its history on Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samosa
