Samosas are one of the most loved snacks in India, especially in North India, and we can have them at any time in the day, whether in the breakfast or with the evening tea because we just love samosas and can never have enough of them.
Though the main filling inside the samosa is of cooked potatoes, some vendors also put dry fruits, pea or a piece of paneer inside the samosa with the main filling to increase its taste. While few vendors serve the piping hot samosas with chutney, several others serve it with chola (peas) and there are also some who give fried chilli with it.
However, one Twitter user Nitin Misra got the rude shock of his life when the samosas he ordered from Samosa Party, Gurgaon, Haryana, came with serial numbers embedded on them. He took to the micro-blogging site Twitter and asked the technical guy to stay away from his halwai.
His tweet read, “Samosas I ordered had serial numbers, Can tech pls stay away from my halwai.”

Soon the online users who are also samosa lovers started expressing their disbelief over the sale of samosas with serial numbers. While some said it may be the QR code for downloading the chutney, several others stated that it is done by the government to track what everyone is eating.
Selected Reactions On ‘Serial Number Samosas’-
#1
Yes, they make awesome Samosas and that marking on Samosas itself does give feeling of tech but it ensures that each person gets their favourite Samosas in a group order. Awesome job @DikshaPande3 & @Samosa_Party team

It's not serial numbers, it's an identifier of what kind of samosa it is, like Punjabi, chicken, corn n cheese. I think it's quite a smart way to solve the problem of guessing what samosas they are without breaking it open.

Samosa party solved the problem of variance. The stamps on the tail just prevents from scratching and tasting.

Ohh!! Where is the Barcode?? Mine one was having bar code as well. It will help them know the time of fry and ingredients they used in the mixure. Once sold they send a feedback and get customer opinion. They use data science to study the "Social impact of Samosa in humans lives"

True!!! And actually such a good idea to stamp them in order to avoid confusion .. instead of ppl breaking off the tip to check which samosa has what filling 😊… so so innovative!!
