Sorry to correct you but. Samosa is an indian dish not Kenyan
Hello anon! LOL okay I never expected to get into Samosa Discourse on my Star Trek blog but I happen to love food and history and the history of food so here we go😂
You are correct that samosas are not native to Kenya- and yes, India is by far the country most associated with samosas in the popular imagination (for good reason, samosas are pretty much omnipresent throughout India!) But while samosas are not originally from Kenya, that doesn't mean (imo at least) that they cannot be counted as part of Kenyan cuisine. (Which I didn't even necessarily do in that post, but I understand your position so I'll elaborate on those terms!)
Kenya is a multi-ethic country made up of several African peoples and migrant communities, including Kenyan Asians. Now, the history of South Asians living in/trading with East Africa goes back centuries, but there was also this huge (and deeply colonial) boom in the Asian population during the late 1800s-early 1900s when the British sent tens of thousands of indentured Indian labourers to Kenya to build the Uganda railway. (There is a LOT more history I could get into re the British East Africa Protectorate and the complicated social dynamics between African & Asian communities at the time, but that's not really relevant to samosas so I'll spare you.)
Anyway, modern day Kenya still has a considerable South Asian population, and as such (again not getting into the more complicated social dynamics here), Kenyan cuisine has a lot of Indian (and Arab) influences. But beyond that- Swahili culture(s) and cuisine(s) evolved over centuries of interaction between the various (predominantly Bantu) peoples of East Africa and traders from West, Central & South Asia (who brought in- among other things- their own spices), so cultural intermingling has always been a staple of the East African coast (which is geographically SO close to Asia!) If you were to walk around some of the bigger, more Asian diaspora-heavy cities of Kenya, like Mombasa or Nairobi, you'd find plenty of chicken/fish-based coconut curries & stews that strongly resemble Indian ones- as well as rice-based dishes like pilau & biriyani, rotis, chapatis, bhajias (called 'bajjis' in certain parts of India), kheemas, kebabs- and yes, samosas. Or sambusas, as they're often called in Kenya.
And what's more- the samosa (originally 'samsa' iirc) likely originated in Central Asia in the first place! It still goes by other names in West Asia and North Africa too; as do several other dishes-in-common. In fact, kuku paka (a dish I mentioned in the post that prompted this ask) is a Kenyan chicken curry with distinct Indian & Arabic influences. So if samosas can qualify as Indian cuisine (which, they undoubtedly do), imo they can qualify as a part of Kenyan cuisine too! Anyway I'm truly sorry I let this ask get SO far away from me lmao, I guess I've always felt a bit alienated by this growing tendency in Asian & African communities to sort of rigidly and unquestioningly (even proudly) uphold colonial divides when our cultures are actually so sprawling and ancient? Like sure, we are not monoliths, and it is important that people learn that- but also, so many political borders across both continents didn't even exist as they are today even a hundred years ago. It's so cool how much there is in common! Food, like so many other aspects of culture, is often migratory and full of varied influences, and that's just so deeply human and beautiful and fascinating to me
#nebulouscoffee on tumblr: come for the trekposting stay for the samosa lore apparently? lol#apologies to anyone who actually read all this rambly nonsense wish I could give you a sambusa/samosa as a reward#also anon I know you meant well and TRULY no hard feelings so pls don't take this the wrong way but. this ask made me giggle#I don't know if you're indian or just a concerned (white) citizen but speculating actually cheered me up on a Trying night so thank you!#in either case: you needn't worry!! I'm not out here on a mission to spread samosa misinformation on my star trek blog peace and loveee#(in all seriousness I'm very sorry if this reply came off as condescending or dismissive I promise it wasn't at all meant that way)#((might delete later btw just putting that out there))

AKSHAY MEHNDIRATTA - MONSOON MAGIC: EXPLORING REGIONAL STREET FOODS IN INDIA
Akshay Mehndiratta - In India, the monsoon season is a time for joy and refreshment. A wonderful metamorphosis happens as soon as the first showers fall on the dry land. The surroundings fill with a wonderful perfume as the sceneries turn luxuriantly green and the air becomes fresh. The monsoon season delivers spectacular natural beauty as well as a variety of mouthwatering street dishes that are both enticing to the taste buds and comforting to the spirit. This blog explores some of the most delicious regional street dishes that perfectly reflect the flavour of India's monsoon season with the help of our special guest, Akshaymehndiratta.
1. Bhutta (Grilled Corn)
When we think about the monsoon in India, the first thing that springs to mind is eating roasted corn cobs, or "bhutta," as they are known there. When Akshaymehndiratta thinks back to his early years, he fondly remembers ambling about the streets and enjoying the smoky flavours of charred maize that had been seasoned with a little salt, lemon, and chilli pepper. Everyone of all ages enjoys this simple pleasure, which you absolutely must try during the monsoon season.
2. Pakoras (Fritters)
During the monsoon, pakoras are the definition of comfort food. These delicious fritters are available in a variety of flavours, including crunchy onion pakoras and mouth watering potato, paneer, and spinach varieties. Akshay Mehndiratta remembers eating hot pakoras with mint chutney while sipping a steamy cup of masala chai and seeing the rain outside. Your taste senses will surely dance with delight when you consume these delectable delicacies.
3. Vada Pav
Vada Pav is a well-known street cuisine that originated in Mumbai and has won the hearts of many Indians. This tasty snack, which includes a hot potato fritter (vada) sandwiched inside a soft bread (pav) and served with green chutney and garlic chutney, is a favourite of Akshay Mehndiratta's. Vada Pav is a mouthwatering monsoon snack because of its flavorful blend of spicy, sour, and soft textures.
4. Samosas
Another popular monsoon treat is samosas, which have a delicious potato interior and a golden-crisp crust. The aroma of freshly fried samosas billowing over the streets during a downpour, according to Akshay Mehndiratta, is a unique sensation. It is preferable to pair these triangular treats with mint-coriander or tamarind chutney.
5. Jhalmuri
Jhalmuri, a spicy puffed rice snack that originated in Kolkata, is a prime example of the variety of Indian street cuisine. Akshaymehndiratta enjoys the crunch of Jhalmuri when it's mixed with a variety of peanuts, diced vegetables, and a hot masala blend. This mouthwatering dessert is not only delectable but also a healthy and energising monsoon snacking choice.
6. Bhajiya Pav
Bhajiya Pav is a lesser-known yet delightful street food that Akshaymehndiratta recommends trying. It consists of mixed vegetable fritters (bhajiya) served with soft bread rolls (pav) and green chutney. The contrast of the hot and crispy bhajia with the pillowy pav creates an explosion of flavours in your mouth.
7. Rasgulla
Monsoon in India is incomplete without a mention of desserts. Rasgulla, a popular Bengali sweet, steals the spotlight with its spongy texture and sweet syrup. Akshay Mehndiratta shares that enjoying a chilled rasgulla during a monsoon evening is the perfect way to conclude a satisfying street food experience.
8. Pani Puri
Pani Puri, also known as Golgappa or Puchka in different parts of India, is a beloved monsoon treat that has captured the hearts of food enthusiasts all over the country. Akshay Mehndiratta shares his excitement for this delightful snack, which consists of hollow, crispy puris filled with a tangy and spicy tamarind water, chickpeas, potatoes, and an assortment of chutneys. The burst of flavours and the unique combination of textures make Pani Puri an unforgettable monsoon street food experience.
Conclusion
Monsoon in India is not only a season of rain but also a culinary celebration that brings people together over a shared love for street food. With Akshaymehndiratta's recommendations, we hope you venture into the local streets and savour these monsoon magic delights. Each region in India has its own unique street food culture, and the diversity of flavours is a true testament to the country's rich culinary heritage. So, grab an umbrella, put on your rain boots, and embark on a flavorful adventure as you explore the regional street foods of India during this enchanting monsoon season. Happy munching!
