Shape, size, and stuffing doesn't matter when we're talking about samosas, because these bite-sized treats, in essence, are love. But one humanitarian charity begs to differ.
Muslim Aid, a UK-based humanitarian organization, recently broke the Guinness World Record for the 'largest samosa' - weighing 153.1 kgs.
Twelve volunteers helped cook the supersize samosa, which took 15 hours of work from start to finish.
The group had to order a custom-made deep fat fryer to cook the super-sized dish at a mosque in East London.
"My heart was beating really fast," said Farid Islam, the project organizer, according to Arab News.
"It was very tense. It looked like it was going to slide off. A crack appeared and I feared the worst," he added.
Why'd they do it?
"We wanted to make a larger-than-ever version of this popular food to demonstrate visually how people of the Muslim faith work tirelessly throughout the year, and particularly during Eid, doing charitable acts to support the unfortunate in the community around them and further afield," said Muslim Aid’s Zac Hussain in a statement.
The previous record was set by Bradford College in the UK, weighing 110.8 kg in June 2012. The samosa measured 135 cm long, 85 cm wide and 29 cm high.
