Project organiser Farid Islam told the AFP that it was very tense and his heart was beating all the time. "It looked like it was going to slide off. A crack appeared and I feared the worst," the 26-year-old added.
The samosa took around 15 hours of work and was dished up into hundreds of portions distributed to the local homeless via the Salvation Army.
