samosa

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'savoury pastry' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'back in burkina faso master' is the wordplay.
'back' says the letters should be written backwards.
'in' says the answer is hidden in the clue.
'asomas' is hidden in the letters of 'burkina faso master'.
'asomas' backwards is 'SAMOSA'.

'chef consumed' acts as a link.
This may not be right. Some or all of it may be part of another bit of the clue.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for samosa that I've seen before include "tasty snack" , "A bit of food" , "food item" , "Stuffed Indian pastry" , "Asian food" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
