FAQs
Q1: Can I freeze these samosas?
Yes. Freeze assembled, uncooked samosas in an airtight container for up to 1 month. Fry directly from frozen on medium heat.
Q2: Can I use chicken instead of beef?
Absolutely. Follow the same recipe using chicken mince for a lighter variation.
Q3: Can I bake instead of frying?
Yes. Brush with oil and bake at 180°C (350°F) for 20–25 minutes, flipping halfway for even crisping.
