🥟 We call it one of the most “Indian” snacks… but the samosa has travelled an incredible distance to reach our tea stalls!

Centuries ago, similar stuffed pastries were enjoyed across Central Asia and the Middle East.

By the 13th–14th centuries, versions had reached the Indian subcontinent. At the court of Muhammad bin Tughlaq, the traveller Ibn Battuta described a sambusak filled with minced meat, nuts and spices.

But then India did what India does best. ❤️

Indian cooks adapted it.

Different regions created different fillings and styles. Much later, the potato became the star of the familiar aloo samosa.

And eventually…

a snack once associated with royal tables became something a student, office worker, traveller or family could enjoy with a cup of chai. ☕🥟

That’s the beautiful story of Indian food:

We don’t just inherit recipes.
We give them a new life. 🇮🇳❤️

🍫 Before chocolate became everyone’s favourite treat, cocoa had already travelled across the world.

Its story begins in the Americas, travels across the Atlantic, and eventually finds a place in India’s growing love for chocolate.

One tiny cocoa bean. One enormous journey. 🌎❤️

From South America to Indian kitchens, it found a new life in:

chutneys, chikki, snacks and masalas.

Funny how something so small can become such a big part of our food memories. ❤️
