The price worked out at $51 (£33.50) per samosa. They usually cost about two rupees 50 paise or five US cents (3p).
The tourists then sought help from police who forced the salesman to return 9,990 rupees ($203.87; £134.91).
The Dutch couple were roaming around the fair when they got hungry and ordered the four samosas from the hawker, police said.
After eating, they went to pay the bill.
The young hawker insisted in broken English that the samosas were specially made of Indian herbs and had aphrodisiac qualities.
"After a heated argument and threats by the hawker, the tourists paid up 10,000 rupees," he said.
