At first glance, it looks like a man is colouring samosas with a paintbrush. That single image has been enough to send social media into a frenzy. While some users have raised concerns about food adulteration, others claim the samosa-shaped objects are not edible at all but decorative pieces made for display. The viral clip has now left the internet guessing what is really happening.
Post that triggered the debate
The video was shared on X with a caption that raised concerns about food quality. The user wrote, “They’re applying colour to samosas. I thought samosas were supposed to be pure, but even here there’s adulteration.”The claim spread quickly, with many people reacting to the idea of colouring something that is normally deep-fried and served golden brown.
What the clip actually shows
In the video, a man is seen seated on the floor with several triangular, samosa-like pieces placed around him. Some appear pale, while others already have a fried-like golden shade.He uses a brush to apply colour to the surface of these objects. Nearby, small containers filled with liquid are placed alongside more similar pieces kept aside for the same process.The setup has led to confusion, as the activity looks closer to painting than cooking.
Online users split in opinion
As the clip spread further, reactions online moved in different directions. Some users questioned the logic behind the act, with one comment reading, “Kya jarurat hai samosa ko colour krne ki..Koun sa fayda utha lega?”Another reaction said, “Even the samosa turned out to be a traitor.”Others dismissed the claim that the items were food and suggested they were decorative pieces instead.“He’s an artist, and these samosas aren’t meant for eating – they’re for show, just like the fake fruits in a display. Gotta give props to the artist’s craftsmanship for making samosas that look absolutely real,” a user wrote.Another said, “He’s using all those props for it, but those samosas are fake.”One comment stated, “Arre Pagal ye artificial waala hai, khaane waala nahi.”Another added, “This is being made from clay for decoration.”
