'Bro just colonized the Indian snack': Nagpur English coach's video on how to eat a samosa with knife and fork goes viral
A Nagpur-based English coach's demonstration of eating samosas with a knife and fork has gone viral on X. The clip, showing the coach instructing students on using cutlery for the snack, has amused and bewildered netizens, sparking numerous jokes ...

In the now-viral video, the coach can be seen standing before a classroom full of students, explaining the precise manner in which a samosa should be sliced and eaten. With careful gestures, he demonstrates how to hold the fork, make a neat incision with the knife, and then take a bite — all while his students observe intently. The video, reportedly from Nagpur, has already garnered close to two lakh views and thousands of reactions from amused netizens.
Many users couldn’t resist poking fun at the situation. One X user joked, “I wonder if he’ll teach how to eat pani puri with a fork and knife next.” Another quipped, “By the time I manage to cut it with a knife and fork, I’d have already finished three with my hands! Samosa is a hand-held snack, period.”
Others went a step further, sarcastically calling the coach an “Oxford-certified instructor” conducting “samosa surgery” instead of English lessons. “Maybe in the next batch, he’ll teach how to apologize to the samosa for disrespecting it,” one user wrote.
One particularly poetic response described the samosa as a “multi-sensory experience” — something to be enjoyed not just through taste but also through sight, smell, touch, and flavor. Another furious user humorously demanded, “This guy must be booked under UAPA.”
Summing up the collective sentiment, one comment read, “Eating samosa with a fork and knife? Bro just colonized the Indian snack. Samosas are meant for finger-licking diplomacy, not a five-star operation.”
The video, while sparking laughter, also reignited a classic cultural debate: should traditional Indian snacks ever be tamed by table manners?
