World’s biggest Samosa breaks record in Uttar Pradesh
Posted July 14th, 2016, 12:51 PM IST
According to reports, a group of 12 students, led by Ritesh Soni, decided to make the world’s biggest samosa. The process for making India’s quintessential snack was started in Gopal Nagar colony in a special pandal with a ‘puja’. Thousands of people thronged the venue to see the record breaking samosa.
The boys who accomplished this feat are now seeking a place in the Guinness Book of World Records and are sending video recording of their feat.
Ritesh Soni, 20, who runs a wayside restaurant at Gopal Nagar, said that he was inspired to make the samosa after the world’s largest jalebi was made by some enthusiasts in Maharajganj last year.
Navin Tiwari, another member in the group said that this was their way of earning recognition for their district which faces a lack of basic infrastructure, literacy and electricity. According to the boys, they started working on the project about a fortnight ago after getting the permission from the local administration.
The boys have spent a sum of Rs 40,000 in making the samosa. Incidentally, most of the group members are in the catering business and pooled in their resources to accomplish the feat. “It took 90 litres of refined oil, 1.75 quintal wheat flour and two quintal potatoes and spices to prepare it. The samosa is three metres high and its three sides are 2 metre, 1.5 metre and 1.5 metre, respectively. Its radius is around 36 inch”, said Ritesh on Wednesday. Since the boys did not have a frying pan large enough to fry the samosa, they devised a new method by pouring hot oil on the snack till it was perfectly fried.
