WIN BIG in the POST Samoosa Challenge

IF YOU fancy your skills in making, folding and eating samoosas against the clock, then the POST Samoosa Challenge is up your alley.

We are calling on all samoosa loving makers and eaters to let loose at our debut competition set to take place at the Al Ansaar Souk Trade Fair on December 23 at the Durban Exhibition Centre at 2pm.

The competition comprises three categories, in which you can win R10 000 worth of prizes.

If you’re up for the challenge, be sure to read on.

The first category is the Samoosa Filling Recipe. You would need to email your creative, or authentic, samoosa filling halaal recipes to jaidene.moodley@inl.co.za.

Based on the recipes, the judges will select 10 entrants.

You would then need to make and take along 12 unfried samoosas to the venue – where it will be fried and presented to the judges.

The person with the tastiest samoosa will win.

Category two is the Fold the Samoosa challenge where new contestants will pit their skills against each other.

For this, the pastry strips and filling will already be prepared and all you are required to do, is fold as many samoosas as you can in 90 seconds.

But it has to be completely folded in a triangular shape and sealed. Judging will be based on quality and neatness.

To enter, SMS POSTFold to 33258 followed by your name and surname.

The final category is the Fastest Samoosa Eater. Entrants will be chosen at the venue and will be given 90 seconds to feed your face with as many samoosas as you can muster.
