Samosas are a go-to appetiser when hosting a cosy get-together at home, at school functions, in a bustling college or office canteen, or while taking a tea break for refreshment. It remains a classic and beloved accompaniment for every occasion and holds a special place in the hearts of Indians. This deep-fried, crispy snack filled with spiced mashed potatoes and a small quantity of vegetables is not only flavorful but also incredibly versatile. They can be enjoyed on their own, dipped in chutneys or yogurt, or even incorporated into chaat.
However, in today’s era of unique culinary creation, samosa has gone through a lot of experiments. From blueberry samosas and biryani samosas to macaroni samosas, and even palak paneer samosas, we must have all heard of them. But adding to the list of bizarre combinations with samosas, a street food vendor recently carried out an experiment with samosas that might annoy your tastebuds. Wondering what it was? It is none other than a ‘Mamosa’—a combination of Manchurian and samosa. Yes, you read that right.
The now-viral video circulating online features a unique dish that comes with Manchurians over the triangle-shaped fried flour samosa. The clip was shared on Instagram by food blogger ‘Chahat Bhalla’. The video unfolds to show a vendor placing a samosa on a plate and crushing it with his hands. He then tops it with two Manchurian balls and drizzles them with gravy. Finally, he garnishes the dish with a spoonful of mint and tamarind chutneys, and a sprinkle of chopped onions.
Sharing the clip, the Instagram user captioned, “Manchurian + Samosa = Mamosa.”

Without a doubt, the foodie community seemed to feel disgusted after watching the video. The clip shared on February 10 amassed the attention of more than 14,000 viewers and a flurry of reactions from Instagram users who did not seem to be pleased with the culinary experiment. Calling the dish disastrous in taste, many viewers criticised the food vendor for spoiling the crispiness of the samosa and making this bizarre dish.
“This is not a combination at all … Samosa ka crisp hi khatam krta (This is not a good combination at all… took away the crispiness of the samosa),” a user commented.
An individual wrote, “Samose ne atma-hatya kar di. Manchurian ke chooloo bhar gravy mein (The samosa committed suicide by drowning in a pool of Manchurian gravy).”
“Manchurian gravy left the chat!” another added.
A humorous comment read, “Put some ‘Falooda’ and ‘Rabri’ on it. You won’t find it anywhere in the whole world.”
“Disaster in taste,” an account remarked.
