Samosa Thoke (Samosa Salad)
Crushed Indian samosas tossed with chickpeas, onions, cilantro, and tamarind sauce — a Burmese-Indian fusion street snack.
Why It Works
Crushing the samosas mixes crispy pastry with soft potato filling; the tamarind dressing provides sour-sweet contrast to the fried pastry's richness.
