Burmese samosa thoke

Myanmar (Burma) · Southeast Asia

Short description: This street-style salad turns crisp pastry into a saucy, tangy bowl with soft chickpeas and fresh crunch.
Ingredients: Fried samosas, chickpea curry, potato curry broth, cabbage, onion, mint, cilantro, chile, lime or tamarind, garlic, and masala.
Cultural note: It is associated with snack stalls and teashop eating, where fried pastries can become a full mixed salad.
Common misconception: It is not simply a plate of whole samosas; the pastries are broken up and tossed with curry and vegetables.
