Gorakhpur: A group of 10 enthusiasts have sought a place in the Guinness Book of World Records by preparing, what they claim, world’s biggest samosa. The quintessential Indian snack, weighing 332 kg, was made at Gopal Nagar colony of Maharajganj district. Thousands of people thronged the venue where the feat was being achieved. The group, led by 20-year-old Ritesh Soni, has now approached the Guinness Book Committee to get their feat ratified.
Soni , who runs a small roadside restaurant at Gopal Nagar, says that he was inspired by the world’s largest jalebi which was made by another group in the district. “Last year, a group in Katharia Bazar made world largest jalebi and now it is in the Guinness Book. Like them, we also want to make our town famous through our feat,” Soni told TOI.
The group spent around Rs 40,000 in the making, “It took 90 litre refined oil, 1.75 quintal wheat flour and 2 quintal potato to prepare it. The samosa is 3 meter high and its three sides are 2 metre, 1.5 metre and 1.5 metre. Its radius is around 36 inch,” Ritesh said.
