Why Samosa is Banned in this African country: Who does not like the combination of samosas and tea? Samosa is one of the most favorite snacks of Indian people. In every corner of the country, you will see samosas floating in the markets and streets. Its rate may vary depending on the place but its wonderful taste remains the same.
We are praising samosas so much because people like it very much in India, but there is a country where people yearn to eat this samosa. Samosa is served to our guests without hesitation and they also eat it with relish, but in an African country, there is a complete ban on making and eating it. If you try to break this rule, you even get punished here.
Samosas are rare to see here
On one hand, samosas are reaching Europe after coming out of Asian countries, while on the other hand, there is a ban on eating samosas in the African country Somalia. There is a ban on making, buying and eating samosas in this country and people are also punished for violating it. You might be wondering what could be the reason for this? So, its triangular shape is responsible for samosa being banned. An extremist group in Somalia believes that the shape of the samosa resembles a symbol of the Christian community. Well, one of the reasons for this is that samosas are banned due to the filling of rotten meat in them.

Where did the unique samosa come from?
It is said that samosa came with an Arab merchant from Central Asia in the 10th century. Iranian historian Abolfaji Beyhaqi mentioned this in “Tarikh-e Beyhaqi”. It is believed that samosa originated in Egypt. From here it reached Libya and then the Middle East. It was very much liked in Iran till the 16th century. According to Amir Khusro, this was the favorite dish of the Mughal court in the 13th century. However, potato samosas originated in the 16th century, when the Portuguese brought potatoes to India. Since then people have fallen in love with it.
