Secret of Serial Numbered Samosa Revealed
While some netizens on the Twitter were trying to come up with witty remarks on the snack being engraved with a serial number, others chimed in with genuine remarks about how and why the classic Indian snack came with an identification number on its crust. Their explanation was further verified by Nitin Misra himself who had ordered the samosas.
As per the investigation concluded by the netizens, the samosas were delivered from a franchise called Samosa Party. Primarily based in Bengaluru, Samosa Party claims itself to be on the mission “to take Samosas to the world”.
A Twitter user stated, “That’s the best part of Samosa Party, each one has its name stamped. They give you an incomparable variety of samosas giving you to local feel while touching global standards with their hygiene protocol!”
