***Simple Samosa*** is an Indian children's animated series created by Sanjiv Waeerkar and animated by his production company Ice Candy. It premiered on 14 May 2018 on Disney Channel and initially only aired on that channel, but as of 2019 it also airs both new episodes and reruns on Disney Junior. All episodes are around 10 to 11 minutes in length. The show's original language is Hindi, but it also has English, Tamil, and Telugu dubs.

The first season premiered on 14 May 2018. The second season was announced in November 2018 as part of that year's Anifest India festival and, according to series creator Sanjiv Waeerkar, was originally scheduled for Diwali 2019 before having its premiere delayed for unknown reasons; it ultimately premiered on January 20th, 2020 instead.

The series is viewable on Jio's JioCinema app as of December 2018 and on Disney+ Hotstar as of March 2020, with the first 30 episodes being added to Disney+ originally before most of the rest were made available in December 2021 ("Sauce Awakens" isn't on the streaming service for unknown reasons). On Disney+, the show has a rating of U, meaning it is suitable for general audiences.

## Episode list

While Disney+ Hotstar and official television guides do not separate the show into seasons, there are a few things that suggest there are two of them; episodes 32 onwards took a while to premiere after the first 31, and starting in episode 32, the font in the title cards is different.

## Other media

* *Simple Samosa Game*, an official web game.

## Availability

The series has, thus far, only ever been aired in India on Disney Channel and Disney Junior. It is also available on the streaming service Disney+ Hotstar, but currently has no DVD or Blu-Ray releases.

## Trivia

* *Simple Samosa* has two dubs for each language it is dubbed in. The two same-language dubs have several differences with each other, such as certain pieces of dialogue being changed and the theme song having its lyrics changed. The first set of dubs only covers Season 1 and is the one that aired on TV first, while the second one covers Seasons 1 and 2 and eventually replaced the first set of dubs for televised airings; the second set of dubs is also the one made available on Hotstar.
* *Simple Samosa* has accumulated over 25 million viewers since its premiere in 2018.
* This was one of the very first Disney India shows to be made available on the Indian version of Disney+, being one of its launch titles.
