The classic Indian snack samosa is loved by many across the world.

The crispy pastry filled with spiced potatoes and paired perfectly with a side of chutney is absolutely delectable.

Over the years, variations like chicken samosa and vegetable samosa have sprouted. The latest one, it seems, is the bhindi (okra or lady’s finger) samosa – though not everyone is too hot about it.

Recently, an Indian street vendor was seen serving this combination, and it has irked many people.

A blogger named Ishant shared a video showing the dish on Instagram.

In it, a man serves bhindi samosa with potato and chickpea curry, green chutney, coriander, lemon, chat masala and two green chillies.

Ishant wrote in the caption: “You must have eaten different kinds of samosas, but have you ever tasted bhindi samosa?”

This post has garnered more than 1.1 million views, with several people voicing their opinions.

While some praised the vendor for his innovative approach, the majority were not happy with the combination.

A person wrote: “Crazy has no limit.”

A second said: “You guys did not do good by doing all this to the samosa.”

A third posted: “Why do they take everything good in life and make it bad?”
