Sharing her experience on similar lines, another one wrote, “No, they are not using it as a stand. Most Indian shopkeepers do this with the first food items prepared in the morning in their shop. I have also seen incense sticks being put in bhatura.”
A samosa lover joked: “As an aficionado of samosa, it's heart-wrenching to see this condition. Could've used one of those jalebis.”
“Usually in pooja, half potato is used as a stand so they might have used the inner boiled potatoes to make it more attractive,” another comment read.
A user added, “As my mom says 'if there is a need, anything can be an agarbatti stand'."
Some people also shared captions and hashtags such as “Justice for samosa” and “RIP samosa”
Another user explained: “Man people don't get this…is hurting me... Every shopkeeper gives the first one as an offering to GOD before selling.”
