Elijah expressed that these tastes so good and the Kikuyu people (residents of Kenya) are getting crazy over how delicious it is, “you get to the selling point with an intention of buying just one but end up eating like five of them.”
“This one (Kachumbali Samosa) and mutura (blood sausage dish served in Kenya) should be banned in the streets,” writes Elijah K. Samuel Kirichu.
Samosa is highly popular street food or can say daily evening snack of India. It is almost loved by each and every family or people there. originally filled with the mixture of spiced potatoes and peas or sometimes paneer, the snack tastes amazing with additional sauces.
It is a fried central Asian pastry with savoury filling, that majorly includes ingredients such as spiced potatoes, onions, peas, meat or fish. Made into different shapes such as triangular, cone or crescent which depends on different regions.

Samosas are a famous appetizer or snack in the cuisines of South Asia, Middle East, Central Asia, East Africa and the South Asian Diaspora.
Whereas, Kachumbali or Kachumbari is a salad of just a cut mix of fresh tomatoes and onion. The salad like dish is popularly served in the cuisines of the African Great Lakes region.
Also known as cabbage salad, it is an uncooked salad dish that consists of chopped tomatoes, onions and chili peppers and sometimes lettuce, radish and carrots along with slices of beetroot too.
Other numerous variations of Kachumbari can be found in Kenya, Tanzania, Rwanda, Uganda, Burundi and in the Southern African countries of Malawi and Congo.
Notably, the Swahili word Kachumbari has been derived or originated from the Indian word ‘Cachumber’.
Kachumbari is used as a salad side dish with the main meal. In Kenya, it is served as a condiment with pilau or pilaf, mukimo or a meal of nyama choma (roasted meat) and ugali.
