ScoMosas! Scott Morrison gets creative in the kitchen
If you thought you were the only one that was cooking up a storm during quarantine, you couldn’t be more far off.
Prime Minister Scott Morrison showed off his kitchen skills by making his own version of the South Asian delicacy samosas, calling them “ScoMosas”.
The politician paired it with mango chutney and social media is devouring it.
Sharing a photo of himself on Twitter, Morrison was shown to be holding a platter of the delicious snack.
In his post on Twitter, he wrote, “A pity that my meeting with Narendra Modi this week is by video link. They’re vegetarian, I would have liked to share with him.”

For those who are unfamiliar with samosas, they are a triangular-shaped fried or baked snack with a savoury filling. They can either be vegetarian or contain meat depending on the region.
In response, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said the samosas look delicious. "Once we achieve a decisive victory against COVID-19, we will enjoy the Samosas together," tweeted Modi.
Connected by the Indian Ocean, united by the Indian Samosa!
Looks delicious, PM @ScottMorrisonMP!
Once we achieve a decisive victory against COVID-19, we will enjoy the Samosas together.
Looking forward to our video meet on the 4th. https://t.co/vbRLbVQuL1— Narendra Modi (@narendramodi) May 31, 2020
Ever since the post was shared, it has garnered close to 17,000 likes, 4,000 retweets, and has caused an influx of amusing reactions from India and Australia.
Many even suggested pairing the snack with a hot cup of chai (tea) to really make it an authentic experience.
