Samosa thoke is a Burmese salad made from chopped samosas. In her interview with Eat My Globe, food writer MiMi Aye describes mixing the pieces with onion, cabbage and mint, then pouring a tamarind soup over them. Masala may be sprinkled on top.[1]

Aye places the dish among the Indian-influenced foods she enjoys in Myanmar. She notes that some cooks use Chinese-style spring-roll wrappers for the samosas. In a separate interview with Sous Chef, she recalls samosa salad among her favourite street foods.[2][1]
