The reality

How it actually happened

Crafting a sweet samosa wasn’t as simple as we thought. 47 pastry recipe iterations, 25 filling recipe variations and 58 cook times later, we cracked it. The sweet samosa was born.

How we got here

The timeline

  1. Apr 2020

    Lockdown

    The big idea. We nearly burned the kitchen down and made more bad pastry than we’d like to admit.

  2. Mar 2021

    Our first customers

    Hand delivered around Leicester. Shout out to Leicester! And none of it happens without Mimz, who rolled the pastry like it was fine art.

  3. 2022

    Shows all over the UK

    Strangers couldn’t get enough of our samosas. The reception was mental.

  4. 2023

    Investment

    Three very handsome gentlemen backed us. Questionable judgement, excellent taste in samosas.*

    Events, everywhere

    Loads of events around the country, including a corporate one for DPD. Yes, the delivery company.

  6. Today

    Thank you

    50,000+ customers later, we are still a bit stunned. You turned a burnt kitchen into a business, and we don’t take a single order for granted.
